    Thanks gents! I'm a bit nervous about honing it. I'm not very good at honing wedge razors, but I'm hoping this one will be the exception.

    Great score for a Brother in the frozen North.

    That isn't a true wedge. It's wedgey but it has some hollow. It'll hone just fine and shave wonderfully.

    What a find!
    If you are not experienced in honing, I would send it to a pro because those wedge type blades can be tricky to hone.

    Ernie is right. A wedge is a little more difficult to hone unless it only needs refreshing.
