Wedge razor club

those pics are really quite flattering, its gonna cost me about 60 bucks total to make it actually look like that.
but with different scales
still prettier than reality:

It's a damn near wedge. I also have the same model in 4/8s. It's got a nice feel to it, I like it.

Here's one, a Joseph Rodgers & Sons in the original horn scales (but new pivot).

As much as I like the old Sheffields with patina left on -
This is really beautiful!

Some very nice razors here! I just got my first wedge, and I'm happy to join the club.

This one isn't a big meat cleaver, but it's as wedgey as it gets--my "Best Tungsten Steel" Towa, roughly 5/8--I figure it's a "One" on the grind scale...

Very nice JimR! Did you have a thread where you were concerned with hone wear on a wedge? If so, that isn't bad at all. Some wedges show much more hone wear than that. If this is your first wedge I bet the shave felt a lot different than your hollow grinds do. Every time I switch to a wedge after using the hollow grinds for weeks I have to be real careful. I am so used to the sounds and feel of the hollow grinds the wedges don't feel sharp until they draw blood! I do enjoy a shave with a wedge once I readjust!

yer that's not too bad at all. On my 4/8s wedge which has a french point, you can see the hone wear all the way around the toe.

Here is a pic of my current wedges. they are 2 bowdins wedges 1 Red Imp NOS 1 Joseph Rogers 7/8 ( currently being polished.)
1 Atkinson 6/8 & 1Union Cutlery spike.
As you can see the RAD is doing well. Paul

Chris Meyer that rodgers is beautiful man, really something.
