What's the recommended remedy, if any? One of my first straight razors is a very old but pristine Joseph Rodgers & Sons slightly hollowed wedge. Over the years I've never been too happy with the way it shaves and I hardly ever use it because it disappoints no matter how carefully I try to hone it conventionally. Two or three years ago I was looking at it and noticed that the edge indicates a mild warp in the edge. The toe of the show side tends to want to go south, and the center/foot of the edge wants to go back north. This probably explains why such a nice old razor ended up in a flea market. It's not visible looking down the edge, but when it's laying flat the pattern that results from being sharpened shows a wide edge on the toe of the show side and thin running to the other end. Flip it over, and the visible edge is just the opposite, thin in front and wider going back.
