:beer1: If you have a $2 razor you could go wild ;)

I would be happy to have 1/2", but the blade was warped so badly, when I was on concave side I had less then 1/16" of contact area. Was working almost on the edge of the hone.

I was even thinking...

I need to learn how to do it without narrow hone.
I hope you will help me in person at Toronto-area-meet:w

In the video they hammered hardened blades.
Was it final hardening process?

You are right, but other option was only to cut my hone and as I said before I had nothing to loose.

Here a link to the video inspired the experiment:
Making Dovo razors
At 1:50 you will see a hammer in action :)

I just share my experience and had nothing to loose.

I would not try this on any valuable razor!

Awhile ago I bought a cheap Genco Registered on e-bay to practice my honing.
It was slightly warped, but I've managed to got a good edge on it and had a nice shave.
I've decided to buy a new one...
