I shaved with a Wedge tonight that I bought on Ebay. Horn scales, lightly pitted blade. Holley is the Brand. 6/8" I believe. Heavy blade.

Got her cheap. I wanted it because it was a Wedge and the edge was in really good shape. No nicks on the edge. I two stage honed it, stropped the dickens out of it on several occasions.

I heard Wedges were a good choice for heavy beards, or for a weeks worth or more.

I must have put a pretty good edge on her because she performed beautifully!

I have shaved this much growth with a full hollow ground edge only to bleed like a feild dressed deer.

This must be the Bush Hog of razors because it took it down. I will use my full hollow ground in a day or two, but will certainly use this for the "Heavy Work".
