    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:

    tail ground up and black, nicks in blade, good ones. pin hole pitted out, superficial scuffs and scrapes

    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.
