I went back and looked at it with a 10x loupe, and it is slightly rounded, however it is still very, very sharp on that point! If I lose concentration even for a secound, it will get me. But I love the shave it gives. It took a little getting used to the new size, but it was a great save. Thanks tremendously!

Success!! A perfect shave with my new wedge. Smooth as butter, even the hollows of the neck which are always problematic for me.
