Need advice on honing a dinged razor
Ok, this is gonna be a quick post cause I have to leave for work in a few minutes, but I want to get my razor back in shaving condition asap.
I dropped my razor today, might I add the only one out of four that is shave ready:rant: And I was just getting the edge where I liked it with my paddle strop. But my new norton 4/8k arrived today so not all is lost.
It did not chip the blade, but rather bent the fin over to one side in two small spots. I can feel it sticking over on one side. Should I back hone this a little bit to get this messed up edge off? Or should I just hone as Lynn demonstrated in his DVD? Keep in mind this is my first time honing a razor, ever. And would you recommend using the 8K or 4K side to smooth this boo boo off?
I will try to take some picks and post up on my break.
If it matters it is a 6/8 dovo full hollow.
Thanks for any advice.
