When you guys talk about a wedge grind, is it a true flat grind or what I would call a "big wheel" grind where you have a shallow hollow from grinding the razor on a large stone wheel? Or is it a range of grinds shallower than say a 1/4?

Big wheel grind.
The only razors that are flat ground are framebacks and rattlers(faux frameback).

As far as I know there has never been a true wedge razor.
Thank you kindly, sir. :beer1: So what would be the typical wheel diameter(s) typically used for a wedge? Also, why do they call the faux frame back a rattler?
The faux frameback in the illustration looks surprisingly not flat ground. Here is a link to help with your question about rattler: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...n-rattler.html
