Yeah it is a wedge. Like all wedges there is a slight hollow to it. I'll probably hone with tape

Really fits the hand nicely when you hold it to shave since you can use all five fingers to grip it. I asked Robert to make 5 pivot holes so I could choose where to mount it. I ended up using the middle one, but it was a good option for me.
Thanks for the great words everyone! It is very encouraging and keeps me wanting to improve!

Wow! Another example of why I think RW is one of the greatest custom designers ever.

I saw the holes in the picture, and they look pretty cool, I just assumed it was designed to use the center hole, and the others were decorative...
Also I assumed it was smaller from the pictures, very impressive lines, if that doesn't scare the hairs away nothing will.

Wow, this is an amazing razor! I hope your collaboration won't stop with this one...
Maybe one day, when I am able to gather enough money for a custom, I'll come back to you...
