    Compwatch,

    The matter of whether all razors are warped to a degree has been discussed many times here at SRP.

    In my collection of some eighty razors, I have one razor with a slightly warped toe (Dovo Best) and one with a slight bow (Wade & Butcher).

    A bowed blade is a pain, and most of the seasoned Honemeisters here at SRP seem to recommend a 'rolling X stroke'

    Rolling X stroke - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    to deal with these.

    The much more knowledgable Honemeisters here at SRP will be able to give you a better and fuller reply

    Good luck !

    Have fun !

    Best regards

    Russ
