What can be learned from bevels and wonky blade grinds?
Let’s see some of those wonky looking bevels that shave like crazy.
I haven't started honing yet so I find all this stuff very interesting.
Got a few razors back from a first class proper honing today.
Talk about a wonky grind on blade. Here's my dubious NOS Wapienica wedge. No scratches, those are wipe streaks from micro rag and tomorrow morning the NOS goes away. Har!
Honemiester said it took some serious work. Har! What and understatement. When I got it had a thin even less than 1/32" bevel that was not real shave ready. I pity the poor soldier that got surgery prep with one of these. After proper honing the bevel goes from micro bevel to 3/32" width bevel back to micro on one side and reversed on other. It plows through arm hair like butter now. Razor is not bent or twisted but the grind must have a double wave in it. You can see some distortion when light is just right.

Next up a small W&B wedge I tried to put the smile back after it was flattened. I got lots of questions on this one.
