I decided to give the re-honed Wilkie wedges a run out today.
Wedge #1 - WTG, a little "prickly" with some light tugging around the chin area.
Wedge #2 - XTG, similar to #1, a usable edge but not so smooth.
Wedge #3 - ATG, Probably the smoothest of the 3, however, this must have been the favourite blade of the original owner as it is actually a bit shorter spine to edge, this means it moves in the razor, quite unnerving, it will need some packing.
I have a SAS finish and you could not tell it is not BBS in passing, no indication from the splash so all in all a nice enough shave.
I will only use GEM blades in it from now on.
Happy belated Birthday Chris
@Satanfriendly i hope you had a great day.
