Repairing a strange problem with my new Robert Williams razor.
Well I received my first razor, a modern custom Robert Williams from Ebay. The problem I noticed right off the bat was that the spine has a gentle curve but the edge is more or less straight, except for the dull tip of the edge. In other words it's hard to sharpen. The exact measurement starting from the heal are 25/32nds 21/32nds and the tip is 24/32nds. Is this from improper honing? Shouldn't the edge follow the curve of the spine? And should I hone it into cooperation? You can kind of see the problem from his website.
