I'm not sure which of these fora this topic belongs, so I'll start it here. If a moderator needs to move it, so be it. I bought two razors yesterday at an antique shop to practice honing. Because they were pretty bad, I started on coarse sandpaper. Here's the lowdown so far.

One is round, one is a spike. I got all of the big dings out of the edge on each one, and notices something odd on the spike. At the spike end, the edge leans ever so slightly. What I means is that on one side, at the spike, it's hitting the stone more than the other. I was wondering what can be done (if anything) to save this razor. Is it possible to just eliminate the spike and make it a round? How would one do this? Or is the blade just shot? Or would I do better sending it out for restoration? Remember, my goal is to learn how to hone.

Many Thanks!
