Thread: Warped edge remedy

Honing a warped razor is not difficult, but as you say, cannot be honed conventionally with straight strokes.

First, lets look at the razor to see how bad, the warp is and if there are other issues.

Post some photos of the razor both sides and of the bevels, and the razor on a flat surface, to show the concave and convex side. Which stones do you have available?

The degree of warp determines how it will need to be honed. Before you go grinding more steel, and possibly making the condition worse, find out what the problem is, then come up with a solution that removes the least amount of steel.

More than likely it can be easily resolved, sometimes as simple as changing your stroke. Old Rodgers razors can take a fine edge.
