    If you look closely I am pretty sure you will see the need to re-create an entirely new(from toe to tail), significantly smaller razor to grind out the warp.

    It is probably just as easy to start with a rough blank and grind a new razor-
    correcting a warp with grinding is essentially the same process, except the blank is warped when remaking the razor.

    restated a third way It just won't work. There are two ways to fix it. 1. Follow the spine with rolling x and/or narrow hones or 2. get rid of it

    I agree with kevint. This Joseph Rogers had the same problem and I was able to get it shaving very nicely using the rolling x on a set of narrow Nortons 8x1 1/2. The bevel isn't symmetrical nor even but there is a bevel and the razor shaves well.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Yeah, that's what I was worried would be the answer. I guess it's going away until I feel like buying some new stones. Maybe I'll snag a 1" wide coti cheaply some day and fix it up.
