    Surprisingly, that razor doesn't shave all that badly if you remember where the hole in the edge is.
    That actually looks like a cool piece of art work...

    Fixed, by the community. All you Mentors made this possible.
    So 1 layer of tape. Jointed and taken to 8K,and 20K. Then Iromono Kita. So pictures prove what is going on.

    So I went hazy,(inversion) with a jnat to see how invasive the pits.
    Yes its twisted slighty the blade that is. A heel forward x-stroke likes that blade.
    Basing that on the water on hone. Watching the wave. It is midpoint but slight.

    At the end, hazy shows no pits It just needed a simple fix. Jointing and hone. Oh it doesnt like 20K gets microchippy. So it was rejointed and 8K then jnat. I have to shave with this blade. It will be coming home on Monday.
