Thread: Slight ding

Ding my razor a tad on my faucet will a lite hone fix it

PS does not catch on a towel wipe or strop but nicks my skin if lightly touches. Thx

Maybe?
Depends on how bad it is, what stones you have and how skillful you are at honing...

Photo would help. Location? Toe, held, middle?

Sorry to hear, RD. Same thing happened to me last week. Post some pics of the damage. There's a lot of good help here. You're in good hands

Toe/point I have a norton 4000/8000 and a nawaia 12k. And I'm new to honing. But I think I'm good. Razor is new hart steel 6/8 satin finish. Bout 1 month old.

i too have a chip/ding in my razor... happened yesterday... soo sad. im new at SR shaving too. was starting to get a hang of my chin/ mustache area... mine is maybe .5mm long and barely indented in the blade. but still enough to catch if you run your nail on the blade. doesn't catch on the strop though. and 1 inch away from the heel...

btw cmmore628 nice signature. haha.

Thanks kkajihiro

here is a pic guys

A bit hard to see, but it shouldn't be a problem to fix that.

But, being new to both shaving and honing, to make sure you don't ruin anything I would recommend to send it to a professional honer, or contact someone near you who have some skills, you can quickly end up ruining more than you fix

Any tips on repairing it. I have to learn how to properly hone my razors sooner or later. Sending it out and waiting a month for it to return isn't an option.
