Thread: Honing Issues

I'm not entirely sure on this but I think it is not standard practice to remove a warp. Usually it's not huge, most razors have some imperfections in that sense, it's just a matter of scale.

I wouldn't get caught up too much on the pressure issue either, particularly if there's a bit of the bevel that hasn't been hit much previously. A bit of pressure is likely going to help you with this honing, at least initially when making sure the bevel is set along the entire edge. After that you can go lighter on the pressure.

Good luck.

I think all my blades have a slight warp here n their but I suppose that's what makes honing interesting.
