Interesting. Thanks. So basically, like everything else in the world of SR shaving they are subjective. One thing I love about this art.

It ought to be good once it is honed up to shave ready. If you haven't got honing experience you might want to send it out. Wedges have more steel to remove so they tend to be more work than their hollow ground cousins. Originally Posted by ccase39

Later Sheffield was on par with the rest of the world. Old Sheffies, Much better!

I rest my case.

SHAVING is what they were designed for, NOT being stared at. Originally Posted by cheetahmeatpheonix

Just shaved with it and got an amazing shave. Im not as used to the square point as I am rounded so I did nick myself ever so slightly but the shave was comfortable and very close.

Frederick Reynolds made very nice razors, as all Sheffield razors, with fine steel.
