Chuck Norris would shave with that wedge of yours, his beard would make that wedge sing, then chip into peaces.
I once shaved with a wood splitting axe. It was a high end fiskars axe belonging to my best friend. His FIL had borrowed it to split wood... on cobblestone flooring. I repaired the edge, and because it was basically a giant wedge with a slighly hollow (quarter hollow I'd say) I took it to my hones after the repair and finished it on my 8000 norton. It passed the HHT .

the shave was good, though a bit nervous. The handling was not superior (the handle got in the way a lot), my wrist tired rapidly (the thing weighed 5 pounds or so) and I was aware that if it bounced or sliced, it would go through my jugular without stopping. Still, it was very interesting.
