  I can’t tell much from the photo. What does it look like if you lay each side on a flat surface?

    I will get to it after work. Thanks for looking at it!

      Still difficult to see, but on the second, the toe doesn’t touch the stone.

        It looks to me as if it is cupped. In the first picture, the heel and toe are off the table and in the second the center is off. I’ve received razors with a similar amount of warp. By rolling the razor on the stone, you can generally get to the edge everywhere. You have to be diligent about it, though. If you use your vice, apply pressure very slowly and let the deformation you apply to the razor set in the vice for a few minutes before you remove pressure. I doubt that it would hurt to heat the blade up a bit but this is @djundjila’s domain more than mine.
