    Default fixing an overhoned razor

    So I understand a razor can be overhoned...but how do you go about fixing it once this has happened?

    I think I've really done a number on my razor. I have one that was pretty sharp but now it won't even cut arm hair. I got some hones I use to sharpen knives and was using those to try and practice. I didn't know about lapping stones and when I checked to see if the stone I'd be using was flat...after using it for a while...there is an obvious dip in the stone. Also my razor is dull now. I might just suck at honing too.

    Could a caved in stone really cause a razor to dull bad like mine?
