Problem Child
I bought this WB wedge in a local antique shop and took it home and tried to hone it up. I worked it a little on a 1000, 4000, and 8000 and noticed that it doesn't appear to be honing flat. In other words, the blade edge does not sit on the hone flatly.
Here are some pics. They are somewhat large. If you look carefully, you can see in the middle where it is nice and bright, but towards the heel and toe, it's not as much. You might think it is just how the light is playing on the blade, but it really does look that way when you are holding it. In fact, if you look even closer, you can see the edge in those spots looks a little ragged.

The hone wear was already present on the razor and I didn't add much to it, actually.
Is there something that I can do with a 250 grit or 1000 grit hone to fix this you think?
