Thread: Is this a feature, or a defect or something else...?

do you guys think the notch could be reground to make it look even without losing its temper?

As long as it doesn't impare the performance of the razor during shaving or honing I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I agree with Catrentshaving, you don't NEED to do anything to it. To answer your question, yes you can even it out without loosing the temper. You need to follow the rules with regards to heat management. I manage heat with the following paradigm ... If my finger can't stand the heat (I leave it on the back of where I am buffing) neither an the blade. I then cool the blade using water.
