Wow, first shave with a wedge
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.

I like my 1/4 hollows and my near wedge. Is it just me or is it sort of like using a DE? When I say that I mean, you let the weight of the razor do the job. You know what I mean?

Wedges can be great shavers for sure.
I do prefer more hollowed blades myself though.
The variety of the various grinds does add to keeping this hobby interresting.)Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....
