Nice looking razor! Have you measured the bevel angle. I have a few razors that I can't get from nothing special to special. I suspect that in my case the razors need additional tape.

This is my first and only true wedge, and it takes me 2 layers of tape to hone it. With 2 layers the bevel is 23 degrees which is very much on the high side... I need to do some reading on how to hone a wedge. I've struggled with this one ever since I got it.
That’ll play. The mulligan was much better.
First drive in Robert Klaas 207. Nice razor, but the edge needs a little more love.
The high point of today's shave was my DIY lime aftershave. Seem to be on the right track. Good face feel but not enough alcohol kick. Lime smells great but not enough.

Most people honing wedges underhone them and the bevel might not be set. Could be close but not there yet. The edge is created when the bevel is set. Keep in mind, there is a lot more steel which needs to be removed if we compare it to a hollow grind. Also, tape is not necessary.
I normally use one layer of Super 88 to hone old Sheffield near wedges. That said, 23 degrees is a large bevel angle.
