I've been a little curious about this but might have trouble describing it. I've bought a Case Red Imp, knowing that the blade wasn't completely perfect. Anyhow, let me see if I can describe the issue. It's not frowned, but the heel is wider than the toe. The spine wear is more pronounced at the toe, than at the heel as well. Which makes perfect sense ofc. But what steps would a person take first, in honing this razor? I was thinking it may be necessary to take the blade to a slow grinding wheel, after tracing the spine onto the cutting edge. Then removing metal up to my new line. But the problem of more spine wear at the toe than the heel will still exist. The other option I was considering is deliberately using a toe heavy stroke in an attempt to try to even out the spine wear. I always figure a blade like this was put away at the point where the guy who used it before me could no longer get it sharp. And I assume he couldn't get it sharp any longer because of the way he sharpened it. So the blade is trapezoidal I guess now. I know people have encountered this before a billion times, but wasn't sure where to look to find a pinpoint answer. So here's the post. Thanks in advance.
