And I only own 3 razors out of 7 that pass that tap and wobble. And with a 60x lighted loupe even the flat razors aren't exactly flat. So I usually do just x strokes. But this Parker is different I think it laughs a my chosera 1k so I got fustrated that it was taking so long to set the bevel after jointing it. So I started using pressure and half strokes. Like after talking with you guys and researching a bit I think this razor is warped and by me using excessive pressure I put a frown in the blade. So I think it was a combination of both a warped razor and pressure thing all compounding the issue of a frown. It is going in the right direction, and I learned something. Put the razor down, have a drink, and re-group.
