If it seems like you are trying to make a fine razor from 1/2 of the original, that is it.
Honing a chunk of steel.

Much better to search out nice examples to learn with.
One razor with the proper shape and condition is worth 10 honed-out clunkers any day. JMHO

The razor had hone ware in the completely wrong place to begin with.... it was ruined when I received the razor in my opinion, but hey at least i tried. The gentleman who sold it to me gave me my money back because it didn't come shave ready and he said to keep it so it's not that big of a deal. I had a lot of fun failing on this razor! I LOVE RAZORS so much, had a blast with my new stones honestly. I want more blades in bulk! gold dollars rusty ebay blades with no scales, bring it on. Lets hope I can get them cheap!
