Thread: Suggestions? Slightly Bent Toe On W&B FBU.

Hey guys. Just recently purchased a Wade and Butcher "For Barbers Only" with a slightly bent toe. It is a full hollow grind with a barber's notch. I don't want to damage it trying to fix it, but I think it may cause some issues when I go to hone it. Any suggestions?

Need to see a couple of pix. Maybe a head on frontal shot and a side view. I wouldn't try to straighten it if I didn't have to. Might start a crack or even snap a piece off.

Wow,over 4 million posts in a just a few mos.

Haha. Yeah I don't know how that happened. Working on getting pics, but having some issues capturing the bend. The razor is ground so hollow making the edge so damn thin.

Alas, here are the pictures:

Me,I would not worry about it,JMO

I think I see it. I would try honing as is. You will probably have uneven wear but it beats causing a crack or breaking off a chunk trying to straighten it.

Yeah, thanks. Cosmetically, its pretty much unnoticeable. I don't want to damage it because its a beautiful razor; 28mm wide with practically zero hone wear and original scales are in damn fine condition. Its going to be tricky to hone. I am guessing a ton of light pressure rolling-X's?

That is what I would do. Maybe some circles when setting the bevel. Hitting it at the heel, middle and point.
