Sold it, learned from gssixgun's videos on honing a smiling wedge, got the razor back and honed it up, bevel and all, in about 45 minutes........a exceptional shaver. Once honed they can be some of the finest shavers out there. Good luck and keep us posted.
I've got a few other wedges and near wedge. Now i'm not in the same class as the pro's when it comes to honing but the ones I have I can shave with. It's true the smiling wedges are a bear to hone it took me a while to get where I could shave without those big ole crocodile tears but now it's not so bad.
