Depending on your hand and hones a wedge can hone up
better because it does not flex as much as some
of the full hollow blades. Eventually is will not mater.

They will also feel very different in your hand and
on your face especially at first. A full hollow can
be light as a feather when compared to a half
hollow or a wedge. Since we hold the blade
at a mechanical disadvantage that extra mass
is amplified. After a while you will no longer
feel the weight but you will feel the sharpness.

A full hollow singing blade shaves me best when
I lower the angle so it sings as softly as possible.
