Just got the WB back from Max today. I'd like to thank him for his pointers about where I went wrong with the honing process on this blade. Turns out there is a substantial taper on the blade...

I finally figured out that the razor has a pretty substantial smile. For a while I thought it was my technique but I flattened and sharpened another razor successfully. In any case, sent the razor...

I won a W&B 6/8 today on Ebay. It appears to be restorable but I'm sure its above my current skill level. Can any of you guys who do restores that I see on here give me an idea of what it would...
