Thread: Advice needed on honing a Gold Dollar

Hi Tim,

So far I've received around 10 GD razors from several customers and so far I haven't had those kind of issues.
For some reason, the heel on your razor isn't touching the hones as the rest of the blade.
The Naniwa's are too wide for this kind of problem.
Try using a narrow hone to set a proper bevel on the heel. For example, use a Coticule with heavy slurry and add water from time to time until it's cleared. This was how I honed last week a very uneven razor a customer sent me. The Naniwa 1k wasn't doing much of a job setting a bevel, so I used the Coti with success.

Good luck
