Some thing to play with
Just found another to occupy my time. This one might turn out ok. Fredrick Reynolds suppose to be 6/8.

Thanked: 4830The lines look pretty crisp. It should clean up very nicely. It appears to be a wedge less design. Standing by waiting for the results.

It was described as wedge or near wedge. either will be ok. I do hope it cleans up good. I don't know if I will keep the scales or rreplace them with something else. if they clean up good I think I will keep them. stocking up on wet dry.

Do you have any experience honing wedges? If not, send it to someone who does. FR's are a bit difficult to hone anyway but a wedge/near wedge can really test you, I learned from experience. A FR was the first wedge I tried to hone, spent 6 hours on bevel alone and it was a failure. 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.

Sounds like you have had some of the same experiences I've had with wedges. I'm not in the same class as the pros either but now it doesn't feel like I'm shaving with a cheese grater........he! he! I do love those wedges, especially the big boys! Enjoy that FR, it looks like a real nice one.............
