I bought a 5/8 Wade & Butcher that looks as if it has never been honed. I started on the 1k stone, and I'm not getting any contact on the edge for the first 3/4 inch from the toe. The razor has a slight smile but as I hone it is flattening. I will have to keep at it until I get a sharp edge all the way, otherwise it won't be a shaver. Anyone else have this happen?
