Thanked: 23Thanks for the comments guys. I guess for now I'll leave it as is. When it needs re-honing I may try to get the edge a bit straighter but not much. I could use Lynn's "circle" method keeping the curvature at the toe off the stones. Then again I'll probably get used to it and just leave it. I feel like that based on the comments that this "smile" isn't that bad.
Rezdog, I've been learning to hone my own razors for almost a year and I want to be able to maintian my own razors. The edge came shave ready when I bought it and now I'm getting better at honing and stropping. My edges will cut hair with the haning hair test and cut arm hair above the skin. I may have created a more dramatic curve at the toe but I'm not sure. I didn't take a picture of it when new to compare it. This is the type of condition I believe it would be easy to create by a newby (me) at honing. It was inexpensive at under $45.
