    Default Arrrg...

    I bought this little Cosmo Mfg., Germany razor for next to nothing on the bay ($27 USD). I have not been able to get an even bevel. I noticed a slight warp in the blade as the non-show side will only contact the hone in the middle and a bit towards the toe. I thought a slight rolling X stroke might help. Nope. Then it dawned on me... There must be a frown as result of the warp. I placed a post it note on top of my Chosera, set the blade on it, and yep, there is the frown...

    The frown is a tad deeper than the photo reveals.

    What at do you guys think? Is a little bread knifing in order? Nothing extreme, just enough to remove the frown in the middle.

    (This is only my second bevel-set to finish hone job. No, I do not want to send it to a pro honer , unless I absolutely cannot get it to shave ready. I bought several cheap razors specifically for the purpose of learning to hone. I am kinda glad this razor has a bit of a frown and so I can learn to correct it.)

    Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.
