So, I have recently gotten two of my four razors into shaving shape so that leaves just one non-shaver: A Double Arrow. I would like to be able to shave with this one, just to justify having it, and it was pretty close to shave ready from the TPT I gave it, so I gave it a few passes on the Coticule with water, stropped and shaved. I got an ok shave with it, not as smooth as the Wapi or even the Kropp, but I had a lot of trouble with the tip. So I took a look at the edge under magnification and it is smooth and even all the way out to the last half inch of the toe--which looks like a train wreck.

Without magnification, there is just a bit of sparkle visible but under 100x there is a ton of micro-chipping. Under further investigation, it appears that this part of the blade is slightly warped--just enough to catch the scales when laid down on the wrong side. So that's the cause of the problem, I imagine--the warp and the crappy flexible scales. So, how do I fix it?

The size of the chips is pretty small--maybe about 1/8 the width of the bevel, but there is a TON of chipping. And, with the warp, honing is complicated.

My hone setup is a BBW/Cot combo and a Shapton 12k. WHere should I start to hone out these chips? Cot w/ slurry? BBW w/ slurry? And should I use pressure to deal with the warp, or a VERY slight raising of the spine?

Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jim
