Asymmetry and slanted jimps
As a newbie I'm wondering how common the asymmetry shown in the picture is to vintage/new razors - and the same for the slanted jimps.
What effect would the asymmetry of the spine have on honing? I imagine that each side may need to be honed anywhere from slightly differently to very differently since there will be varied alignment to the stone on each side. Seems like one of the slants towards the "V" will be more acute than the other and that would have a significant effect.
Experienced ones, please impart your knowledge.
