Thread: Honing a trapezoidal blade?

Yeah I'm not willing to let this razor be a mistake razor. It's just barely out of whack. In fact, I doubt many could even see it without an "in hand" inspection. Anyhow...here I go!

On youtube there are 3 different people that shows how to hone a smiling blade, the same technique can be used to hone "Toward" a smiling blade...

If you start honing toward a smile you should get a nice profile and still be able to shave as it progresses..

Check out the "Smiling Blade" honing from all three of us, we all use a similar technique, and it should slowly correct your minor geometry issue
This way you are not doing drastic changes just a slow correction through the next few honing cycles
