    Default Is my grind not steep enough?

    Hi all, I am a blacksmith and bladesmith, but razors are not my specialty. I am making one for my brother for christmas because he's a barber. It's a 3/4 damascus rounded end razor, about 7/32" at the spine. BUT I ground in the hollow with an 8" wheel and the grind really just doesn't look steep enough. I'm worried that as it gets sharpened and worn over time and the edge moves back, it'll be too thick to cut anything. I'll attach a pic. I don't have any 3, 4 or 6" wheels. I only got 2" and 8" as well as larger ones. Should I give it a go with the 2" or is that too small? I have yet to start on the stones, so it's not the final edge, just the edge after the grinder.
