Thanks for the kind words. I'd initially missed one like the 6th on ebay (my internet died...) and I was so bummed I started a thread and posted in my signature that I wanted one. A member here (Mejnoon) bought one on a different site, saw that I wanted one, and sold it to me. Huge thanks to Mejnoon for that one!!!

Thanked: 0Wedges are proper shavers. I've only got 2 (straight) razors, but I really, really, really like the feel of a wedge. I can totally see why other do too.
Below I've included my daily shaver: C. V. Heljestrand "No 23" 9/16
The blade is slightly touched by the teeth of time, but there is no active rust or pitting. The edge is flawless. I also own a (new) Dovo Black Star (5/8" full hollow), but it hardly gets used since I bought this one. The Dovo has one thing going, the heavier wooden scales give a much better balance. But I don't want to change its original bakelite scales so I must purchage another wedge!Last edited by Oxi; 06-15-2009 at 09:58 PM.

Thanked: 402Last weekend I've bought this razor, actually only for the handle, since the blade was quite chipped.
Now I've given it a quick fix.
The scales must be pressed horn. Love the design.
Blade lost something. Honed it without tape to get an ankle of 18.6 at last.
Actually I don't believe that this is a Solingen. Looks and feels more like a real Sheffield to me. Hard steel.
