Stumbled across a matching pair of Joseph Rodgers razors on the weekend. I've never owned a wedge before, but these two look like wedges to me. Handles are either bone or horn of some description. Blades need some more heavy duty cleaning up than I've already done - I got impatient and honed them...

Anyway, I guess my question is more about wedges than anything else. The bevel I established is about 1-2mm wide (very rough guess) on each razor, which clearly means there's some sort of shoulder to edge concavity going on. Does this mean these are not technically wedges, or do all wedges have a slight hollowness?

BTW, does anyone know which UK Majesties J Rodgers & Sons held/hold the royal warrant for? Or is it an ongoing thing?

James.

PS Will post pics when I get home...
