I have a Joseph Rodgers wedge shaped razor that is all but unused now I don't know whether to call it a wedge or hollow ground. You've got me thinking and that hurts.
you also have to take into consideration the almost 2 hours I spent removing stains and scratches from the face of the blade. It sure isn't going to be flat anymore. Probably a .004-.008 gap by now. guess I'll bring my calipers home to.
