I just got an Ebay special for not too much. It's in pretty good shape, no rusting, just some water marks. I plan on this being my learning razor for restoring and honing.

My question is this, how does one straighten a bevel? In the case of this razor when it is set perpendicular to a flat surface the edge does not make contact in all places. It's not a smile or a frown per se, more of an un-even wave look.

Would you run the edge perpendicular to the stone untill it's flush and then lay it down and set the bevel?

All advice appreciated.

I will post pictures if needed as soon as I figure out how to post them.
