Hello everyone, so my honing is coming along after quite a bit of trial and error. Truthfully, lots of trial and lots of error. I am generally trying to bring some 100+ year old razor back into working condition and then getting the satisfaction of seeing how well it performs after putting it to the stones. Anyway, I seem to be struggling with getting the toe of the razor as sharp as the middle of the blade. It seems to me on these older rounded, almost French Point razors that the toe tapers and thins so when the blade is flat on my coticule the toe edge is a bit above the stone. I have recently taken to finishing my hone job by focusing solely on the toe, meaning only working the toe end on the stone. Am I approaching this all wrong? Advice?
Thanks
