    Bongo, I like Union wedges because they're smooth silent shavers. Hard American steel. On top of that the green with gold accents looks pretty awesome!

    The original Spike was basically gone. So what I did was to take a Spike from my collection and modify it to match the shape of the original razor.
    I had to adjust the length a bit. The spine was way too thick as you can see by the distance from the bottom edge to the lettering on the shaft. I also had to thin out the tail quite a bit as well to match the shape.
    Once this was done I polished the blade, shaft and plated it. On this razor the plating is only on the shaft /tail area.

    On the Wedge it covers the shaft/tail and continues across the spine and around the tip.
