Thread: Question on consistency of bevel across the razor.

The first step is to test shave with it. if it shaves fine don't worry about it. Most of the time crooked bevels have nothing to do with the edge itself and it is more a cosmetic thing. Unless you're one of those guys who demand perfection and have to work on it immediately I'd just wait until it needs honing and over time you can correct it if it bothers you.

Of course if it doesn't shave properly then that's another story.

I'm not trying to patronize you, but to bounce off of BobH's response, I manipulated your original photo to highlight the location of the bevel. Without knowing the magnification of the image, I'd say that's a mighty fine looking bevel.

Just my humble opinion as I'm not an experienced honer.

Thank you, I wish I knew how to do that to the photo but could not. I did not see anything wrong with that bevel either and just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing. Not trying to be patronizing to the OP either.

ShavingSnob - That's not a picture of my razor, just a random picture online to show what I'm referring to as the "bevel" when I look through the jeweler's glass. And yes, I'm referring to exactly the area you pointed out.
