Thread: Is there something wrong with this razor?

This is a TI razor that I bought recently, if you check the pictures, it seems for me that the blade is not equal on both sides of the head. I dont know if that will be a problem when honning in the future
What do you think??

On the last pic it seems there is a slight bend (or the grind is off as you stated) to the right. Honing will not be a problem but you will have uneven bevels most likely.

Thank you mainaman,, yes the last picture is the one that can show the issue more clearly... but what can I do?? does that mean that I have hone the left side removing the steel until is equal to the right side and then set the bevel??

just hone as you would any other razor, only one sire ill have wider bevel than the other. I think the bend is not too pronounced so the difference in bevel widths may be even unnoticeable

I have a couple razors that were alot more noticable than that and the bevel difference was barely noticeable.
