If the edge is straight then that's all that matters, its like any other blade. The ERN ator blades I love have that kind of design and they're easy to hone. Just watch the water on the hone and make sure the edge moves the whole wave on your stroke, you should be fine.
This is not necessarily true. There are many ways a razor could end up with a straight edge but not hone up properly with a straight stroke. One example would be a razor that used to smile but was breadknifed to be flat/honed with the spine up/honed with uneven taping etc. Another would be a smiling razor that was given a single grinding which did not run all the way up to the hone wear but left a straight edge.Quote:
