It seems that I have become the owner of a Joseph Rodgers 'Star and Cross' microtome, not a Joseph Rodgers wedge as I expected! That will teach me to check the photos more closely! The face of this 'razor' is concave, while the reverse side is dead flat. I'm wondering if this could be honed asymmetrically like a Kamisori somehow? I use both hands, so it would not be ideal on one side of my face I guess. Thoughts and suggestions?
Same thing happened to me last year. I won an auction of a Bengall 6/8 and a stainless 6/8 microtome from Solingen. The seller only had a single photo of both razors opened on the show side... For 60 NZD I felt I had nothing to lose!
I PIF'ed the microtome to a kamisori shaver who was thrilled with it, and kept the Bengall which was an excellent shaver.
