    Default Razor Shopping

    I just finished reading a 40 chapter book on The Art of Straight Razor Shaving. I have been searching the internet trying to find a round point, near wedge, brand new straight razor. Can anyone make some suggestions as to where to find this needle in a haystack?
    Thank you,
    Joshua

    That's an odd combo for most new razors. You may want to check with one of the custom guys.

    Hart steel has round point, 1/4 hollow ground new production razors. 1/4 ground is probably as close to wedge as you're going to get with a new razor.

    You can see them here, www.classicshaving.com

    Hart steel is the only one that comes to mind, they are fairly expensive. But are well executed and exactly what you want. Hart Steel Straight Razor

    Edit: looks like I was beat to the point that said although it's not a full wedge with the ~62 Rockwell hardness steel they use its far stiffer then my full wedge Sheffield blades.
