Thread: W&B Chort Chop

Something to think about: The blade is one inch wide, and the spine is 5/16th thick. The optimal ratio is 1 to 4. This will achieve a bevel angle around 17 degrees. Your spine is going to make that more than 17 degrees, and that will cause problems. Consider grinding the spine down to 1/4 in.. Or, if it shaves well to your standards, leave it alone. Your razor - it's up to you. That said, it's a darn nice razor.
