Can hone wear render a blade unusable?
I'll be honest, I've been struggling to keep the faith here. Bought an old razor off eBay, decent make, nice steel, honed it up so it was pinging hairs like there was no tomorrow, only thing is that I may as well have run an electric planer over my chin. Copped a nice deep cut that's taken the better part of 3 weeks to disappear, it was a humdinger for sure. Anyhoo, I no longer trust this blade, it has some pretty heavy honing wear on the spine and the bevel is about 2.5mm in width. Does this strike anyone as being a rather large bevel? I mean the edge will be super sharp, but wafer thin surely?
Going to buy one more razor (after taking some solid advice from here) suitable for my beard from hell, and if I still can't get the hair off my face without the scrape scrape scrape followed by much smarting, then maybe it's not for me.
Hope it does work out because you lot seem to be nice people :)
