Thread: *razzle frazzle grumble* Warped Edge

Soooo...I got this razor, and it had a bit of a frown. Quite a bit, actually. I tried the method suggested somewhere here of using an "exaggerated rolling X" to hone down the heel and toe, and I got to where the edge was straight. So I thought I was golden....

Then I tried to hone, and after the bevel was there I couldn't get an edge set to save my life--it was all over the place. So under magnification, I checked and on the "front" of the blade, the heel and toe were being polished, but the center was not. Checking the back, the reverse was true (please see my crappy picture). I assume there must be a kind of bow in the center of the blade, though it appears flat when on a straight edge/flat surface....

If that is the case, I can see polishing the OUTSIDE of the bow with a rolling X....but what about the inside (The area marked NOT OK in my crappy picture)? The warp is too narrow to fit any part of the hone into, we're talking like less than a half an inch, I'd have to be honing right on the very edge of the hone to make any contact...is there another way? Some kind of selective taping or something?

Anything? Help!
