Thread: A very big problem, help before ................

Hi Guys , i have honed more then 20 razor without big problem but today wanted to hone a Wade & Butcher i got so much problem, tried to fix a bevel but it went so wrong and i dont know why, you can see the pics.

Wow ! How did you not realise there was a problem long before you got to that stage ?


Hope its salvageable

From the hone marks on the spine it appears to have a bow in it, the blade it's self could also be warped.

Thats a major problem,sorry, no help from me

i hade tape on spine but when i saw the problem then i took it a way to see if it is problem with spine, i just take a one lap without tape and u see what hapend , destroyed 120 dollar razor, i am pissed off because i bouhgt it from USA, it is difficult to find Wade & Butcher here,

Just a guess here but tape just the middle of the spine? Let's wait for an expert though.

i tried with x but nothing good hapend

Lots of tape layers wear the tape flat them hone and work back
Otherwise a regrind required I think

when i saw the problem i used 4 layer tape maybe it sounds stupid but i did,it still hapend that what u see

It does appear to be a wedge but then I would think that warping would not be an issue, but a bent spine isn't out of the question. Do you have shots of the top (spine), bottom (edge) and end of the razor? And I am still wondering how the damage got to be that bad before you stopped.
