Thread: Did someone wreck my razor?

As said before your blade is easily fixable. I bought a couple Dovos from a guy who got them professionally honed at some "razor store" and they were terrible IMHO. They are also went past the heel during honing and left a mediocre edge to boot. Send it out as suggested or get a practice razor to learn your Coti. What is your current honing regiment on the Coti? What size is it? I actually love my Coti for "difficult" razors as it's narrow and super fast with a dilution process.

OK, so long story short, a "smile" is not so bad, but since it is still dull, I should get it rehoned.

To find someone in Belgium, I just create a new thread in this section, right?

BTW, thx for the quick replies.

Bruno and Dimitry, live in Belgium. They are capable of honing a razor to shave ready. Whether they have the time or not, I cannot say, I don't know their schedules. You might drop one or both a PM.

I see nothing 'wrong' with your razor. Check out this PDF from the SRP library with illustrations on honing and smiling razors.

I personally would find a member on here to hone it for you that way you get a great fresh edge

You can get you razor honed perfectly in de Messenwinkel in Antwerp. They do it right than and there (unless it is really busy) and it costs you nothing.
