What I am wondering about here is if this is normal, and is it a technique issue or the razor? When I hone I look at the wave in front of the razor. On the strokes away from myself the wave is nice and even, but towards me it is only a wave on the toe and heel. The water seems to somehow slip under the razor in the mid. segment.
What do you guys think?
