Honing a straight razor is not at all like sharpening a knife or a pair of scissors. Take the advice and do some homework reading about razor honing and watching some of gssixgun’s videos. You won’t be ready to properly sharpen a warped razor until you’ve managed to get a consistently good edge on a properly ground and well manufactured razor.

I wasn’t able to get a decent edge on a razor I have that is warped for a couple of years. I just let it sit in my “to be honed” drawer while I developed my honing skills with my good razors and learned how to properly use my hones. Then I took some guidance from the more experienced folks here on how to identify and properly tape the spine to compensate for the warp.

Be patient. Develop you basic honing skills and master your hones with good razors. Then take on the challenge of troublesome blade.
