Uh... get it honed.
Really.
what does the blade is a twist mean?
Send it to me, I love a challange! Worse comes to worse, a quick trip to Glenn or Dylan will make it sweet. :gl:
I agree with Ben. Have it honed. Someone who offers to hone other people's blades ought to be able to hone a warped blade.

Thank you everone. This fourm has the best group of people. Mainaman was the first to offer to give it a go. I will send it out soon. I will keep everone up to date with it. Hopfully he will post on his findings.
It seem that most feel that it should still be able to get honed. I surly hope so. Its a mean looking blade.
Was my offer at least second? I really wanted a shot at that beautiful razor!
Actually yes you were. I really appreciate the response. Im glad so many feel it can be done. I was very depressed when i was told he couldnt do it. I was really looking forward to using it.Quote:

Baldy- That must have been a monday morning job. Who ever ground it. Very noticeable.
He must have had a Tangover... :)Quote:

I send him razors, he has advised me of conditions such as yours. He gives me his legit concerns. On those "rough ones" he obviously spends much time on them, AND often I end up getting a new favorite shaver.
Well great news. Mainaman just sent me a message the razor is done and shave great. He just recieved it last night. I am very gratefull for this and everone help here. There are a great bunch of people here.
