    Default listing blade

    i am now cleaning up a wade and butcher 8/8 that arived today and the blade is leaning a bit to the port. this is the third razor i have that has this .when honed the bevels are uneven but dead straight i was wondering if either the blade was bent? although i think this given the hardness of the steel is unlikely or maybe it warped in the heat treatment? or if maybe they wanted it to be that way. all three a boker a puma and now this w&b are otherwize dead straight and the puma shaves like a dream, can anyone shed some light on this?

    I have a Robeson that has a twist in it as well. I'm betting it's a heat treat issue as the edge is fine and shaves great. The bevels are way out there and took a while to get shave ready, it must have been unused when i got it because I had a heck of a time till I discuvered the issue
