Thanked: 1903Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the total force acting across (not along) a surface divided by the area of the surface. And a razor's edge is microscopic.
They give different feedback, and make different sounds. You might find the following passage useful: Razor stropping - Straight Razor Place Wiki
There is for me, the main difference being feedback. A wedge will give you next to zero, because it does not flex, or sing. This caused me to apply more pressure initially ("Hm. Doesn't make a sound, doesn't really respond. Let's try harder. Ouch, that bleeds.").
Initially, I think you should, and instinctively will. Wedges can be serious fun, once properly honed.
