Thread: Odd Flattening on Spine

I think what has happened is the honer used a heal leading stroke, which would not place the entire spine in contact expecially on a shoulderless grind like the bismark. I surmise your machining experience caused you to inspect the razor, figure there was a problem and try to fix it. Now you might be skilled with a shavette, but how skilled are you at stroping? I suspect the edge could have been rolled in your attempt to strop it fixed. Edit: To have wear as far down the spine as you show you would like, you will nead to use a toe leading honing stroke.
