There are certain times as a Restorist that you get to have real fun and a real challenge. I have only done this twice in over 17 years as a restore professional Once when an actual Sheffield razor came in that the owner couldn’t hone I determined that it was a Spine “Frameback” that was missing its Spine I did the same as I did with this Homemade razor that was made as a True Wedge Final bevel came out as a perfect 16.4° Included angle Having way to much fun making stuff work right .. Just need to do final fitting on the brass now that I have nice even tiny bevels. You can also see how a “True Wedge” couldn’t allow for proper honing in the first pics
Thanks Steve, just about locked down on the honing, took a bit extra to get the old "Ham Handed" grinding off there.. You can actually sorta see the issue in the first pic on the MM Test, look at the very heel end of the Black ink, there is a small divot in the honing that I still need to get out
I’ve seen a few of those divots. I don’t know if its from grinding or honing. I do know that they’re a PITA to get out sometimes.
