Thanked: 0Mis-fare when honing -Spine and edge not even plane
Ok, so I am a newb in here... I finally registered to the forum.
I did a quick search of the vast forum for what I am seeking to no avail.
I have had my razors for a couple of years now and have not really gotten a good edge on them and hence stopped shaving with them. (Actually quit shaving for a year now and have a beard).
I pulled out my stone, hone and razors to see about getting a good edge. These were purchased NOT shave ready. however sharp.
What I discovered is that when placing the razor onto the hone, the spine appears that it may not be true? If I place the spine to be flat and flush from heal to toe, the edge will have a gap and be lifted on one end or the other (toe or heal).
When I place the edge to be flat and flush from heal to toe, the spine will have a gap.
Aren't the edge and spine to be true to each-other? How do I correct this? Is is correctable at home? or should a pro tend to such a deviation?
I can take pictures if need be for better clarification.
2ea zeepk bought new
1ea Dovo used off e-bay (has the worst deviation mentioned above) (if held in right hand to stone, the away stoke side has the most noticeable miss-fare)
If this is covered in another area, please let me know, and I apologize for duplicate threads.
