Thread: Dent on edge of razor

Your only recourse is not honing. The first step is to try stropping it out. Start on linen. Stop immediately if you are scratching or cutting the linen, but otherwise go ahead and do a hundred strokes. Then go to leather. Watch for scratching of the leather and stop immediately if you see it. Otherwise, do a hundred laps on leather. If you are lucky, and if the edge is fine, and if the ding was slight, then you might rescue the edge that way.

If you have to resort to honing, then start with back-honing to start to re-align the edge.
