Hello all,

I seem to have a problem with my razor. You see it simply will not take an edge. Now this could be due to the fact that I have never honed a razor before, but I believe it is something a little more fundamental.

You see, I bought a new Dovo 'Classic Black' 5/8" carbon steel, and didn't jump on the pre-honing option, assuming that I would have to learn how to do it someday. I think that was my first mistake. After hours of honing on my Norton 4k/8k, reading up on how to hone properly, and finally staring at my blade to see where the problem is, I believe I found it. My razor has the slightest hint of an 's' curve along the edge.

Now my question is, is this normal? Furthermore is it fixable? Anything anyone knows would be helpful.
