why do razors warp? tips on honing them?
i have a couple ebay razor i bought for real cheap that i would like to practice honing on, they are both warped though not really badly, but enough that i noticed right away. i am just wondering why they warp and if anyone has any tips on honing them. i always use the X pattern but usually mix it in with a straight pattern to try not to get all the scratch patterns going the same way (20 laps X and then 20 straight).
i am by no means set in my ways with honing as i am pretty new so any advice would be great. thank you.
