Something I've been thinking about recently. I was honing an eBay special and the stabilisers were hanging low and were rubbing on the hone which was lifting the rear of the blade off the hone. I was also honing the bottom of the stabilisers wheich seemed kind of odd. Anyway, I got out the Dremel and ground back the stabilisers so the edge of the blade sat proud again and made full contact with the stone. As I was doing it, I was wondering what I would have done if it was an expensive razor that ruled out using the Dremel. So how do you get around this?
