Thread: Heel and toe hone up fine, problem spot in the middle

There has to be a frown in there somewhere or maybe spine is crooked. I have a setup of lapping film on 1 inch x 6 inch granite that I use for a blade that has a crooked spine. You can get that area because only 1 inch of the blade is on the hone. But I use it to finish the blade after bevel in progressive grits.

Thanks all.

I've just had another go (I had to wait a bit for some more arm hair ), and it's come out well. I tried a bit of slurry, which I haven't done before. I didn't think you used slurry on synthetic stones. I also tried lightly resting a finger on the middle of the blade.

I keep my King stone in a food container of water, but it does dry out quickly in use, so I added more water than usual to keep a pool on the surface instead of just being damp.

And thanks for all the videos, gssixgun, I watched a few of them (again) and I always seem to pick up something new.

Only took about 30 mins, from 1k all the way up to 12k, and it shaved pretty well. I'm happy with it.

Here's the razor:
