I purchased a TI from TAOS about 5 months ago and very lightly touched up the factory edge, which shaved nicely. As it is one of my daily go-to razors, it was time to put an edge on it again, and I wanted to take this opportunity to go down to the 1k.

To start with the bevel was not 100% even, which is to say that it was wider on one side of the blade than the other from the factory. It took quite a bit of time on the 1k to get the bevel reset (no tape). The same condition exists now as it did before, although a bit less pronounced now. Having gone through the progression, the blade really is "stupid" sharp and passes anh form of hanging hair test one can throw at it...
in fact I am pretty proud of this one as it came out so well despite my skills!

so back to the real question here...

is, or can this be considered a normal problem? I see most of my blades from professional honers that seem to be SO even...but I am assuming the blades began that way.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
