I have a 9mm or so wide strip of stone scrap from hone sawing-been meaning to use it but have not. You could try your luck with a ripe stick.-- Abrasive embedded in a stick
or side sharpening with pressure.
Well, I checked by setting the razor edge down on the hone and it looked flat, but you're right, there could be a couple of micrometers there. I'll look into it...

And I have been contemplating the stick idea. I have some thin strips of wood, I could try putting some of my heretical powders on there and see how it goes.

I also just realized--the razor has a bit of a swayback. Would that effect the honing? Should I be trying to put a matching smile on this blade?
