Straightening a spine on a wedge?!
Ok, so I haven't been honing razors for very long. I seem to have the hollow blades down pretty good and can produce good shaves off of my Naniwa stones to suit me. My first wedge I got off of ebay. It had been "restored" but when I got it it didn't shave well so I took it to my stones. Needless to say, it didn't work out well and is currently awaiting restoration with Brad Maggard. Picture included. How I got to this place was that even with tape, the bevel wouldn't come out right. I took my micromiter to the spine and it was very uneven. My second wedge is a double thumbnotch Greaves that I am having the same problem with. Is this a normal process? I don't think they should look like this. I mean, my Greaves is shaving well, but it looks like crap now. The spine is very straight but, like I said looks about as bad as the one in the picture! Help!! I'm sure I'm not doing something right and don't want to ruin too many more blades. Thanks!
