One with a sharp edge and not made in Pakistan.

well I picked up that wedge, makes two razors for the stable.

Man, I can't wait to experience this! I have yet to get a "Meaty" Sheffield, but my full hollow ground Sheffield blades are my top shavers, with the notable exception of my Puma. And I have a very dense, very coarse beard. This may be TMI, but I have alot of places where I have two hairs (each as large as a small sappling) growing out of the same follicle. Now *that's* dense and coarse. My dainty little Sheffields make quick work of it, though. Guess I better start shopping for a full wedge Sheffield!

Finally got my razor, and wow, that was really fun.
This is was right on.

$110 for what looks like a decent retored wedge, with handmade scales? Seems reasonable to me.





Holli will be translating any of my future posts, he understands where I'm coming from...
