Joseph Rodgers and Son, No 6, maltese cross over a 5 pointed asterisc, cutlers to their majesties, Norfolk? street Sheffield.
Anyone have an idea as to how old this razor is? Picked it up of ebay australia for a few dollars the other week. Have started sharpening it, not quite there yet, any tricks to sharpening wedges ?
cheers all

I'm no honemeister, but here's my 2c: Wedges can take longer to hone because more steel needs to be removed. From the picture it looks like your razor would take a little time on the stones. Not a trick really, but a layer or two of tape on the spine while honing might reduce this problem and could cut down your hone time a fair bit. Remember that if you do use tape on the spine, you also need to use the same number of layers while touching up the edge later.
Best of luck, and let us know how it shaves
