Wedge Question
Just curious...does a wedge razor have an absolutely flat plane along each side, or are they hollow ground just a tad? If the former, how are they to hone and strop?
Many thanks,
Trent

They're hollow a bit, were they not, honing would be a complete nightmare.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking, but I've never seen one, so I didn't know for sure.

I seem to recall Lynn (on his DVD)_mentioning how to hone a wedge.
Good Luck

I have a full wedge, there's an ever so slight hollowing/uneveness that makes the bevel and spine not meet at the toe or heel part, but do meet for the rest of the blade. If I hone it without tape that is.

I have never seen a "wedge" that was not hollowed out a bit.
