Evening Gents,
I laid my razor open on my shave towel this morning while cleaning up. Then I promptly forgot I laid it on the towel and picked the towel up and sent the razor flying across the bathroom. I picked the razor up and inspected my edge and it looks like I did put a bit of a wave in the edge in the middle of the blade. With this said I have been touch up, finishing honing my own razors for 8 months now with the only two stones I have needed an 8K Shapton and ILR finishing stone with slurry then running water.
My Question:
For this type of edge damage is it possible to get the small wave or bow out of the edge using the 8K stone? Or do I need to get it to a honemeister and have them do the 1K up progression? Any experienced advice would be appreciated, thanks.
