What are my options with this razor
I bought this razor a little while ago. Sent it out to be honed and he told me the blade has a twist. UGH! What can i do with it?

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.

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. Originally Posted by Utopian

I have a Geo. Wostenholm with a similar issue. The blade seems to have been ground at a slight angle in relation to the tang. I think it will hone OK though maybee just have a larger bevel on one side than the other...I hope.
