Thread: Another Wedge

So I picked this blade up at a Flea Market. It's a Goodbehere wedge and from what I can gather the general store that sold them went out of business in 1858. At any rate I have some questions about the grind and how to hone this razor. It appears that the grind isn't even between the two sides of the blade. If there is any hollow to this blade I cannot detect it. Where some old blades not ground evenly? As for honing am I to understand that a wedge is placed with the edge and "shoulder" against the hone and it is honed like any other razor (this is what I gathered from the other threads on honing a wedge)? If so, is that why wedges take longer, because you're essentially removing metal from the edge to the shoulder? Here are some pictures hopefully they will help. If anyone happens to know anything about this particular razor feel free to share, I can't dig up much. SO picture 1 is a straight on (sorry about the poor quality), it doesn't look like the angle is even an equilateral. The 2nd picture is just the tang stamp, the 3rd and 4th are the stabalizers from either side which are different, is this indicative of an uneven grind? Thanks in advance for any help/advise/comments.
