Thanked: 1Small chip/dent in razor, seeking advice
Hi everyone,
so here goes. While trying to strop my 5/8 razor, I've noticed it made a tiny scratch in the leather. After looking closely, I've found this:
It's a very small chip, but it's only on this side of the razor; the other side is smooth. You can see from the size of the razor that it's a very small indentation of sorts. I really have no idea how I've managed to get it there, since I've been very careful with the razor.
In any case, it needs fixing. I see two options here:
1) I currently don't own a hone yet. I'm considering buying a hone that would allow me to fix this and will serve as a regular hone in the future. I'm thinking one of those double-sided 4k/8k hones. Which one would you recommend for this kind of job?
2) I have a big assortment of sandpapers; 80, 160, 200, 400, 600, 1000, 1500 and 2000. Do you think I could fix the blade using something like this?
What do you guys think?
