Thanked: 2Uneven Bevel
So, I tried my hand at repairing my razor after getting a few dings in it from a drop. I have touched up the edge a few times as needed, but this is the first time removing a lot of metal. I used two Norton combo stones (a 220/1000 and a 4000/8000).
Everything worked out rather well considering and the razor shaves nicely again, but the bevel is visibly uneven. I'm talking about the bevel on the side (where the stones contact the metal), the edge is nice and even. There's a wavy pattern to it, one side has a larger bevel towards the toe and less at the heel and the other is the opposite. I know that this can be caused by improper technique, but I was very careful to put even pressure throughout the process.
My question is, could it be that my blade became slightly bent during the drop causing this wavy pattern? If so, is there a way to re-shape a bent razor edge? If this is just a technique problem, what can I do to get a more even bevel?
