Just had a great first shave with an old refurbished W M Bingham and Co. wedge. I have recently started shaving with a Straight and up until now all blades I have used have been full hollow ground. I was impressed with how this new wedge handled my three day growth. I will admit that it was a bit intimidating at first witnessing the blade get down to business, without any "sing" whatsoever. Needless to say I am a fan and happy to have this old gem in my rotation.
