Jemmo, just IMHO, a DMT 325 is great for flattening waterstones, and maybe for taking large chips out of straight razors, honing kitchen knives, but is too coarse for setting bevels on straight razors. I use a 1K waterstone for setting bevels most of the time. I might on occasion go as low as 600 grit for problem wedges, but rarely.

Crox is the same as Chrome oxide.

Crox is just the common abbreviation (Cr Ox).

Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the edge forward and the spine in the back? Like this:






By the way, I think the razor is salvageable, at least in terms of shave-ability. But it's going to require correcting the problem (once identified) and she's going to wear some battle scars.
