Thanked: 135Advice needed on new razor
Hello Gents,
My brother bought me a Ralf Aust razor for my birthday (yeah, he's ok). This was an ebay purchase and when it got in I was on vacation. He looked it over and thought it looked great. When I received it I was of course grateful but I was disappointed in the bevel grind (see pic). I was also not crazy about the scale construction but they are pretty.
I looked over the edge and the bevels do meet but as you can see by the pics the grind is uneven and the edge doesn't sit flat on the stone on one side:
Notice the wide, deep grind on the heel on one side.
Based on what you see, how would you approach this? I was hoping not to start this razor using tape.
Let me know what you think?
Thanks,
Paul
