Obtaining a wedge?
Where would the best place to get a decent wedge razor from? I am interested in shaving with one but i don't really want to spend an arm and a leg :P Where could i get a cheapish one, that is in good condition?
Thanks! Guys

Oh fair enough! umm i think 100$ would probably be pushing it for me. Hopefully around 75$?

There is currently a very nice looking "Red Imp" wedge by Case listed on the BAY for less than "Two Jackson's" incl. shipping> I would check it out if I were you...

Although no one here can vouch for 'that particular razor'....I own many several Wostenholm's and they are all superb shavers, as are most Sheffield blades once properly honed.

That Wostenholm looks nice, but it isn't shave ready. You'd need to send it out to get honed. Originally Posted by Xyphota

It has also been restored. Do you know if the seller is a competent restorer ?The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
