Thread: Slightly warped tip

Seems I have a slightly warped toe tip on one of my choice razors.

From what I have read, this is not so much of an issue if it is addressed with the x pattern of honing (which I don't usually do with normal blades, unless they are smiling, in which case I do the x and rock it a bit). Just wanted to confirm my understanding

Thanks

Ivo, could you post a pic so I know exactly what you're talking about.

my phone sucks and I have no good camera at work, but this should give some idea - just some shadow indicating the warp at the last 1/2'' or so of the toe

thanks!

Ivo, I can't see it very well, but I'll give you the 2 scenarios:
Best case -- Some vigorous stropping (more pressure and at least 100 trips) will fix it.

Worst case -- Hone it down

I love stropping

However, the second scenario - wha??? Do you mean like making it a snicker (vs. normal smile?) Wow. Nah, I'd rather just put it on ebay saying it's mint

just kidding, but it is a bit of a rarity in this size, so people might just want to have it for their collections...

Thanks for the tips!
Ivo
