Thanked: 4942Hone wear will also occur on the bevel when a razor is taped. The bevel will get wider over time.
I am not a fan of purchasing razors with hone wear and look for minimal to none when I am buying a razor. From a stand point of shaving, most that have an acceptable or minimal amount of hone wear that is relatively the same on both sides of the razor can be honed without too much problem and continue to be serviceable forever. It really boils down to whether you want a great looking razor that shaves or a very worn looking razor that shaves. Pocket book can play a big part in this decision.
Have fun,
Lynn
