Ok, just so we're on the same page, a "true wedge" in my book would be a razor when honed that contacts the hone from edge to spine and completely in between on both sides of the razor. So really, no "grind" or hollowing of any kind. I'm talking literally here.

The Bengall I have and referenced above LOOKS like a "true wedge". It looks like a pure triangle when viewed head on. A few test passes show that it has an extremely light grind, but a grind nonetheless.

True or False:

Gugi sent me a razor that contacts the hone from spine to edge. In fact, I think it may be a slightly convex grind by now after the wear it has received through the years and the attempts to hone it via taping

Sh!t Chris you are right as well, upon further inspection it is obvious my JR+Sons has just the slightest grind, I didnt notice before as I just started working on it. Mmm I wonder just how many true wedges there are out there?

Heres the Jolly Rodger now its done, I posted more pics in the gallery if anyone is interested. It gives me the best shaves I have ever had.

will this one gain me access to this exclusive club?

Thats a pretty thing Justacat very nice indeed mate,
Heres my latest to finish Wade & Butcher 8/8 still trying to date it spot on, but its looking like early 19th century.

send this one to me for a few years and I will date it for you but it might take me a few years A very masculine razor IMO.

Would you? hahaha
thanks mate, yeah very macho, men where men in those days eh? shaved with it yesterday, its very nice too, but oh eck you know youve used it after 3 passes ..lol

I posted this in the general razor section as well, but have not had much luck with identifying it. Can't find out much about this one. 6/8, no jimps, medium length tail. I think that I can see something like "GOOD" or "WOOD" with an "&" on the first line, and WILL SHAVE WELL on the second. Has a very slight grind, but pretty close to a true wedge. Got it for a song. Any info? All you wedge experts, time to chime in!

whats on the tang?
