I got an W&B blade the other day from E-bay that I discovered when beginning the sharpening process that the front and back of the blade were higher than the middle. In other words there was a slight dip in the blade as you moved from the front of the blade to the back. Any suggestions for making this straight again?

Is it a smiley like this one?
No. If you look at the 1961 Barbers Manual there are two blades there with dotted lines. The second one is what I am talking about. But the dip was more pronounced that the one in this picture.

I agree that the Fillies have a little belly. Mine goes the other way. Instead of a belly it is a dish.
Just curious; does it say "Bow" razor on it. Does anybody know what this designation means on WB's?Quote:
