I've been working on the razors destined for Ralphy and Gary to test shave for me, and as I discovered, there was a little tiny frown on each of 'em.
I tried working one of them out, not by bread-knifing (SP?
) but by elevating the razor to about 40 or 45 deg, a bit of pressure and lots of circles and half stokes and managed to get a nice smooth profile, with just the tiniest smile. Just as the bevel was starting to come back around, I noticed that the frown is back. Very, very faintly, but definitely there, in exactly the same place as before; about 1/3 forward of the heel. If I carry on the same way, I'll soon end up with another one of those 3/8" wedges.
Guys, help me turn this frown upside down!
(Ya, OK, I know: cheesy
)
It seems that the razor has no obvious warps, it sits flat on the hone (better than most I've seen so far), though the spine shows a belly in the wear near the center, and the bevel geometry at the heel seems a little weird, much wider on one side than the other. The stabilizer (or shoulder?) may need a quick visit to the dremel but doesn't seem to be affecting the area showing the frown. Or would it?
Any tips, or advice?
(Give me a bit and I'll try to get some close-up photos uploaded)
