Some of my razors are starting to rack up some miles on the hones now, and I've started to notice a pattern in the hone wear I'm putting on my blades. I seem to have developed a habit of doing a 30[sup]o[/sup] or more heal leading stroke and I've noticed that the spine directly over the stabalizer is showing less wear than the spine closer towards the point. And the spine wear towards the point is showing generally more wear. I seem to be headed towards owning a bunch the classic eBay special shape razors.
Is this something I should try to break myself of? I guess it only really matters if I'm sending razors to other guys to hone, and continue to maintain my own with exactly the same stroke. But I sometimes worry that just variations in my own stroke messes up the geometry of the edge near the heal. BTW, I tend to used the heal a lot, probably more than most guys.
Anyone else have this problem?
Kind regards,
-Chris
