Thanked: 3Problem blade
I know a few out there will argue that my HAD has just begun, but i will venture to say that i belive i have the hones i need for shaving comfertably till the end of days.
1 King 1000 grit
1 King 6000 grit
1 Norton 4000/8000 grit
1 Norton Lapping Stone
1 Dovo Rindleder strop with canvas back(canvas pasted with 0.5 micron)
Is this a setup that will allow me to comfertably shave in years to come?
Also i have a little question;
I have aquired a Razor from from an SRP member here i use for practicing honing, however this appears to have a somewhat warped edge, and now shows significant flatness/honewear at the spine.
How do i proceed to make this usable?
At the moment the front side of the blade shows a decent bevel from toe to mid, and a slightly narrow bevel from mid to heel.
At teh back side of the blade it has a wide bevel from front mid section till back mid section and both heel and toe has next to no bevel at all.
It almost looks like the bade is gonna frown, or whatever you call that inverted smile on a blade.
Do i just continue to hone it on the 1k stone until the bevel appears equal, or is there a trick to correcting this flaw?
