Thread: Would this effect honing

Good to hear its cosmetic that would have ruined my day to hear they are in need of work. Forgot to label and you are right left is one blade right is another. All the blades sit flat so they dont frown or smile. And if they are pronounced what would I need to do to fix it.

Its too bad this isnt one week ago, I was in Omaha for a wedding, I invited one other new shaver to the reception, I could have invited you as well, it would have been good to see the blades first hand. If they do not frown or smile and are vintage pre used blades(as they obviously are) I would hone them with a regular X stroke, starting a new bevel and working my way up the grits. If the second blade is indeed somewhat warped you may have to "rock" the blade as you follow through on the stroke to be sure to hone the entire edge.

That is too bad, it would have been nice to meet someone who knows what they are doing. As far as I can tell the blade is not warped just honed strangely. So I guess I will set the bevel and just hone them. Thanks

If you need anything please let someone know and keep us posted on the progress.

I just finished up an Ern just like what you are talking about. I used a rocking x as Nun2sharp mentioned...but ended up going back a second time to the stones to get it right.

Sometimes you have to "finagle" it a little, the hard part is finding out how the blade needs to be "finagled".
