Ebay razor does not lay flat on the hone
I recently picked up a batch of ebay razors eager to improve my honing skills. To start, I chose the cleanest, nicest looking razor out of the bunch I bought, one that appeared to need the least amount of honing in order to get it shaving. Boy, I picked the wrong razor: I laid it down on the hone (naniwa 1000) to set the bevel (which is what I wanted to practice) and it does not lay flat! If I lay the spine on the hone, the head of the blade does not quite touch the hone with the blade facing away from me. The problem is less apparent with the blade facing me.
I am relatively new at this, but I do know enough from maintaining my shave-ready razors, that my other razors lay flat on the hone. Any ideas (or links in this forum) that might help me approach this problem? In the meantime, I will clean up the others and see if I have any better luck. If solving this problem proves to be too much for me, I will save this razor for another day...much further down the road.
Thanks.
