Thread: opinion on a wedge

I would agree that the edge has a slight "frown" shape. Correcting this is not for a beginner. I would suggest that you contact Joe Chandler or one of the other guys here to hone this razor for you.

BTW, it is a very good quality razor so do not practice on it. As far as wedges being difficult to hone that is usually referring to late 19th or early 20th century english made razors. Wade & Butcher, Wostenholm, Tally Ho etc. They are big and thick. But these are not difficult, except when they have a "frown" shape to the edge.


Just my two cents,

Dubl Ducks can be great razors, but I'm also going to say get rid of the frown. Drawing circles on a fast cutting 1k waterstone would do the job, but you could even go coarser.

Gentlemen

Thanks for the feed back. FYI I did compare the wedge against a straight edge and yes there is a little something but I don’t think it is major. For the time being I will find a second razor to practice, I think it can make a nice razor and I don’t have the experience nor the proper tools to fix it therefore I will just keep it for later or send it to someone who can restore it for me

Regards

Norm.
