Thread: Wedge razor club

Got some that are close, no true wedges yet though.

Here's a collection of wedges. The 'Spike' by Union Cutlery is one of my very favorite shavers, and as wedgie as you can get. This is a shot of my 7 day set + (there's 8 of them, hehe).

I enjoy the wedges best of all my shavers, I have a Reynolds, and a custom made full wedge as well, I'll post a pic or two of them as well. ITMT, here's my spikes:




Here's my custom full wedge:



Sorry for the crappy pic, it was the best of the bunch. Taken a few months back, before I learned how to use my camera better.

My Wedges. I love them all:

my 13/16" pre 1900 Sheffield


My 6/8" Ramapo


another 6/8" Sheffield beauty



a pre 1900 5/8 Sheffield near wedge


a vintage 5/8" New England wedge

these have become my favorite grind to shave with. Just love them and find they are relatively easy to hone!

Here is another of my wedges to post up..

Here is a 4/8 Blasberg 'Kerry-Gow' wedge that is one masterful shaver.

Here is my newest W&B 'Pure' wedge. This baby is the thickest heaviest wedge I own.. Just got her this week, I finished it and shaved with it yesterday. What a steal!! Thanks Tom!



And another shot of the wedge!!

Here's my most regular shaver, Robert Hallam 'Magnet'
Once I started shaving with this, I haven't gone back to the hollow grinds

I need to get some pictures up here. I have a near wedge and one I just acquired from a member at a meet that's is very close, if not a 'true' wedge.

Any idea of the year of this one?
I have three with similarly shaped blades (two 7/8 to 6/8 and one 6/8 to 5/8) and would like to know roughly when they were made.
TIA

F. Reynolds. I like to use wedges on one day beards!

My latest

A George Wostenholm 6/8" Pipe Razor Wedge






this blade made me cry uncle. I could not get it honed and finally sent it to Sham to figure it out. He said he had to take off lots of spine to get it shave ready. Must have been taped a lot. but it's should be back home any day now.

And it is a definite wedge eh?

edit:

decided I might as well put the rest of them up too:

My favorite: A W/B Smiling face

this is one solid blade and scales.

another W/B pure wedge I bought from Sham


a very nice 5/8 sheffield I am getting rescaled right now in horn. Perhaps my favorite shaver. A near wedge


A Supreme Custom 5/8 wedge I am also getting rescaled


A very cool Ramapo



I think that's it. I love the wedges but hate to hone them! They always challenge me to the max
