Another shave with US steel. This one was with a ⅝ Union "Wedge". Not a real wedge, more like a near wedge. When I received it a couple of years ago, it was in need of a fair amount if restoration. It cleaned up pretty well. The razor is finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa.
This razor does not shave as comfortably as the US made Genco, but close to it. Maybe it will get there with a few more after-shave refreshes on the diamond pasted balsa.
