Read rule #1...

1. Learn to walk away, if a razor has you stumped, learn to walk away, set that razor aside, and move to the next one, or get up and go do something else.. Sitting there Grinding on a razor normally achieves nothing good.. I have read posts where people are putting in more then 1 hour on one hone, that is just too long...

Now after grinding on that thing for hours you have finally decided to seek help, after you wiped away all the clues that might have been on the razor to help us help you.. Now we have an entirely new set of issues that you have introduced to the spine and edge...

Hint #1 - Set this razor aside until you have much more experience

Hint #2 because you won't listen to #1 Put 3 layers of tape on it and do the MM test and see what happens, that will help mask the spine wear at least

Simple fact, now you have to learn to hone around the errors, or what we call "Honing Gymnastics"
Will do. It wasn't in the best shape to begin with, just hoping I didnt make it worse.. But since yesterday I have set it aside. I tried the MM test with 3 layers but it hits above the edge. There is the thinnest line right along the edge that is not being hit. Right now all i can ask for is advice, although, this time I will read everyones tips and use them down the road when I have much more experience. Just going to stick to my other razors for now
