Nice finish. When you get it back from being honed you will discover the two most important factors. How it will shave, and how it feels in your hands. Originally I thought it would be better as a...

Ok, now it's starting to come around. A little more like it for sure. There are a few good threads here about why the wedge is important and what it does in the function of a razor....
