    How about this? I believe you seen this book. Those razors are wedge too

    The caption says those are wedge shaped blades. Perhaps in that book, as on the forum, the term "wedge" is used quite loosely and encompass true wedges, near wedges, and quarter hollows.

    That loose definition contrasts with the strict definition in the wiki. - http://straightrazorpalace.com/srpwi...ths_and_grinds

    I don't mind the loose definition of "wedge," but it just seems wrong to me to use the loose definition for "true wedge" or "full wedge." True/full, at least to me, implies that you are using the strict definition.

    Mine is a true wedge. This is a great shaver, too bad scales were not original when I got it, they were black plastic.

    Great work on those scales! How did you manage to clean them like that? I love the razor as well!
    One little thing, it looks like the blade has a little crack near it's heel
