What should you do if the razor is overhoned?

Back hone and dehone
Back hone and sanitize
Rehone and sanitize
Rehone and use

The correct answer is: Back hone and dehone

If the razor is overhoned, the correct course of action is to "back hone and dehone." Back honing involves using a less aggressive honing material to repair the edge that has been damaged by overhoning. Dehoning then involves using a smoother honing material to refine the edge and ensure it is sharp and properly aligned. This process helps to restore the razor blade to its optimal condition for shaving. The other options are incorrect because: - "Back hone and sanitize" does not address the issue of overhoning and would not fix the problem with the razor blade. - "Rehone and sanitize" does not address the specific issue of overhoning, which requires a different approach to correct. - "Rehone and use" does not address the overhoning problem and could potentially lead to further damage to the razor blade if used without addressing the issue.
