Thread: Honing bellied hollow / double grind after restore

let me give you a restore hint

When dealing with an unknown after a restore and getting it on the hones, start with 3 layers of tape and see "Where you are at "

Also, you broke rule #1 of an unknown restore, "Set a bevel BEFORE restoring the razor" This assures you of two facts.

#1 You have clean solid steel to work with

#2 You know the starting geometry of the razor


Hope that helps



Edit:

I just came back to this when I remembered the make of the razor, Several years back I want to say 09 there was a glut of Herder blanks that hit eBAY they were not finished razors they needed the final grind and Temper
I remember they had overly thick blades and exhibited the same issues

May or may not apply here
