    Default Honing a corn razor

    Is there a rule of thumb for how far to push the edge along with these? Just asking as the bevel angle is so different.

    Pictures would help as there are two styles of corn razors. The one with short straight blade I put two layers of tape on the spine for the bevel angle. Don't know a out the other.

    I need to pin it all back. Had to clean out the pivot. Not toe wear btw, it's just the grind at the toe. Looking top down, the spine tapers like a spike. Name:  20160524_014834.jpg

    This is a honing question.

    Holy guacamole, that's tiny. Might be best to do some measurements for the bevel angle and adjust with tape based on the angle you want. Although, I dunno what would be the best angle for shaving corns.... Unless you're going to use it for normal face shaving.

    They have a different bevel angle to a straight by design. I was more curious what level of refinement the bevels of these can support.

    Man - I have a thing for small razors and always wanted one of those!

    I can't speak to honing it, but I would love to know how it shaves if you ever get it working for you. Cool blade.
