Yo, it doesn't look like there's a dedicated wedge ground straight razor thread. I think that needs to change! Please post your wedge ground straight razors and a description of how they all shave and compare to the far more common hollow/extra hollow ground razors in your collection.
I've owned several hollow ground razors and they all mostly shaved very well but I've never actually had a wedge grind which is something I want to change, even if clean ones are rare here. I hear they are less audiable, more stable and less prone to chatter but while still being as sharp as they need to be to give a comfortable band close shave. Are they easy to hone like the more common grounds, does the edge last longer due to the thicker stock, do they actually shave as well as I have heard? Pros and cons??
look forward to reading what you all have to say.
cheers
