Results: I spent several hours sanding the rust and grime off the blade of this ebay purchase. The blade isn't pretty but I got a nice, sharp edge on my Nortons last night. I got a BBS shave with no irritation after 3 passes. I wouldn't say she's perfect, but its my best effort yet with a wedge. I always assumed my beard would like wedges, but I think the more hollow the blade, the happier my skin it seems.
