Ahh that makes perfect sense. I'll see what I can do to get this junk razor decent just for fun. Nothing to lose.

So essentially the reason it's not a big deal that the spine wear is so uneven is because while it was being honed poorly, the metal coming off the edge was also extremely uneven in a way that still...

Definitely will do, when I was given this razor I had no idea in how bad of shape it actually was until Glen showed me how to inspect for certain problems. Believe it or not the person who gave it to...

Can someone explain roughly why grinding the spine down (in theory, I'm not going to try it) would ruin the geometry? I made a picture showing what I mean, the way I understand it the only...

Not even really seeking simplicity as much as "proper" whatever that means to me being someone who has never done this before. It intuitively seems like it just would make much more sense to hone on...

By even it out I don't mean remove the smile, I mean just get the wear to a relatively even depth across the razor. For some reason there is almost no wear near on the spine near the tang, and almost...

Brutal. My inner perfectionist winces at the idea that it's not really fixable. I'll still try though.

Gotcha. If you set the bevel correctly you eventually can stop using the rolling X strokes when moving on to higher stones, right?

He showed me that live the other day. I think my stroke is good enough but it just seems to me like with a spine worn that unevenly it would probably make more sense to grind it than to tape it. if...

Thanks for the links! I'll take a read through and see. I'm doing this only for learning so difficulty and quality are not really relevant as long as I end up learning more about razor sharpening.

Hello,

I have this razor here that somebody gave me to practice honing on. It's probably crap because there's no "made-in" stamp on the tang and the logo is just "neptune", that's neither here nor...
