Picked up a third razor today. The heaviest of my three. It's a "TRENTON RAZOR CO." with a very thick spine and it's a 7/8" that's hardly been honed if ever. I'ts not a wedge and I do believe it's still a full hollow but that fat spine and extra height is a big difference.

I've read that (TRENTON) was trademark from Boker??? One of my other's is a Boker's RED INJUN...it was my favorite and still may be after the 'new toy syndrome'...even though it was a pain in the rump to get in shaving order the first couple times. My other is a "Van-Camp Hardware "BLUE RIBBON"" 5/8"...it hones up real easy but the "feel" aint there.


So, are there any 'secrets' out there as to what to look for in the future? I know the obvious would be a B&W Wedge or just wedges in general...but they seem to command a high price and all three of my razors so far have totalled up to $43.00. I've honed all three up myself using things are convententially used for knives...AND have managed to get comfortable shaves finally!!! Point is I'm trying to do this on the cheap.

Anyways, thought I declare my undieing love for them heavies!!! lol
