− | Chips, nicks, or cracks in the edge can also prevent a blade from being honed. Very small chips or nicks can take many hours to hone out. Larger chips and nicks as well as cracks can mean that a razor needs to be reground before it is usable.

Larger chips and nicks as well as cracks can mean that a razor needs to be reground before it is usable. [[Image:Edge Damage on Mehl.jpg|thumb|300px|Seriously damaged edge, probably caused by a combination of too much pressure during bevel setting (see long scratch marks) and overly aggressive polishing.]] |

Heavy pitting that covers a large portion of the blade will require [[Hand sanding a blade|sanding a lot of material off of the blade]] in order to get rid of the pitting and corrosion. If the pitting or the corrosion extend to the edge of the blade, it is likely that the blade cannot be made usable again and therefore should be avoided. | Heavy pitting that covers a large portion of the blade will require [[Hand sanding a blade|sanding a lot of material off of the blade]] in order to get rid of the pitting and corrosion.
