Learner Honer in need of some guidance
Hi,
Firstly I must say I'm becoming more experianced with honing at work (Meat Butcher). I have a 240,800,6000 grit stones here. I know its not suitable for razor honing. But I recently purchased a Blue Wonder

(When you click the thumbnail and a seperate window comes up with the photo. Click the photo again in the imageshack website. It will make it bigger again)
As you can see one side has a very tiny bevel and the other side has a bevel about 1mm wide. This can only mean that the spine has more wear one side?
I had a quick go at honing it myself. And it passes the HHT and shaves very poorly, I wasn't expecting a miracle. But do I have to do a lot of work with this razor? The spine is something I havent had to deal with at work as I set the 11° angle myself.
Im thinking about purchasing a Shapton 3 combo set with a 1000,4000,8000
Thanks for your time
