Near wedge convert
Just tried this beauty for the first time. Never had such a comfortable shave. Wow.

You are not alone. Many people prefer a wedge or near wedge shave. For good reason.

Absolute bbs on face with so little effort and no irritation. That with a weeks stubble. Am amazed.

Not quite legible in pic. The beaut is John Elliot's celebrated razor Sheffield.

Been loving my wedges for a few months now. A couple of weeks ago I busted out some German hollows ( good ones, Bokers ) and got thru my cheeks and put them down and picked up my Barlow near wedge. Ahhhh, so nice!!!
Can't pin down what it is exactly but they flow so smooth and are much more forgiving of minor bad moves. Whatever it is, I love em!!
