How Much Hone Wear is Too Much?
When looking at razors, what criteria do you use to determine whether a razor has too much hone wear to be salvageable? This includes uneven wear. How much unevenness is too much? Extra points for posting pictures as examples. :) Thanks for any replies guys.
Not so easy an answer is it???
You would think this would be a rather easy answer but it isn't after all,,
To say 2mm on one razor isn't hardly any wear on another :)
I honestly look for the least amount possible when razor shopping, BUT uneven is almost always a killer for me and if the edge is uneven too I very rarely take the razor...
This is rather like that definition of porn that was given "I can't tell you what it is, but, I know it when I see it"
Here has always been my personal definition although rather tongue in cheek..
Hone wear:
Good hone wear is on the stone, bad hone wear is on the razor.... :p
