    I have posted multiple times that you need to actually take the time to do two things BEFORE you start a restore

    #1 Make sure you can get a good clean solid bevel

    #2 Test the razor for straightness by placing on a known flat surface and pushing down on the pivot hole with your finger
    If you know that the razor is uneven you can adjust the build of the scale to fit the razor..
    If you look at the edge at the same time often you can spot upcoming Warp issues also..


    Look at the at spine in the side to side to side shot

    At this point in time you can maybe use the steam method to warp the scales around the razor, and get it all "straight" putting a funnel over a boiling pot helps concentrate the steam

    Here


    Good Luck
