Thanks for all the feedback. Like I said before, the razor feels a little different than the Solingens. I suppose most of this feeling could be well attributed to the fact that it is one of a very small collection of razors that I have tried. I find it so interesting how they all seem to have different quirks and feelings. It's almost like they have their own personalities. I am now working very hard to stave off any RAD that might be setting in!

I had heard that wedges are much harder to hone, but I couldn't pass it up. It was beautiful, and for 11 bucks! I was very pleasantly surprised when, upon receiving it, I found it was already shave ready. I was over the roof, as my honing is mediocre at the very best. Gave a great shave, and I am looking forward to learning the new blade a bit better. This is the best hobby/past-time ever.
