    Default What's Happening?

    Yesterday I got my next razor in the rotation ready to rumble. It is a K-3 Fon Golden Star. It is about a 1/4 hollow and has a 2 1/8" cutting edge. I laid a straight edge along both sides of the blade when I was struck by the uneven hone wear along both sides of the spine. Both sides exhibited the same imperfect spine thickness. They are both concave and the hone wear reflects this. The question I have relates to the bevel. While the hone wear is uneven (wide..narrow..wide), the bevel is uniform.
    I run this razor in every way possible to hone it, but I can't figure out how the bevel is uniform and the spine width is not. One more factor: I don't use tape on this razor.
    I am getting good results, I just don't know why, and this is bothering me some.
