Thread: Unevenly honed edge

As Glen pointed out, it can really depend on the grind. The bevel is determined by the plane formed between the very apex of the edge and the outermost width of the spine. Everything outside of that plane has to be eliminated in order to form a sharp edge. The amount of steel that needs to be removed to form the bevel can vary on both sides, or along the same side, depending on just how thick the steel is near, but not at, the edge. That thickness determines the width of the bevel.
Geometry, not the honer, determines the width of the bevel.

The razor shaves well. I assumed it was due to hone wear or just simple facts of old razors. I think the guy I got it from provides an excellent service to newbies. Lol thanks Larry!
