How would you define the issue on toes like this?
What is the general consensus of the proper terminology that should be used to describe toes that exhibit a taper due to faulty honing technique? I've seen some much more sad and extreme examples than THIS
But that shows an idea of what I'm talking about.
Thanks.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

You mean that "slight" taper isn't normal...

I've seen a lot of these worn to the toe razors. I suspect like you Chris that it is poor honing technique. Possibly a heavy hand on the strop too. The wear on the spine shows tells me it is a very well used razor. This particular seller is a retired barber in Houston who is selling his collection piecemeal. He has had some incredible blades in the past.
