Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 72-V (13/16", quarter hollow or near wedge, stainless steel)
Lather: Barrister and Mann – Braeburn
Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts – Pomona
Fragrance: Imaginary Authors – Sundrunk
Wedges aren’t my preferred grind, but I am thoroughly fascinated by how different a heavy wedge and a full hollow feel despite having the same outline and bevel angle. (I have the 72 in full hollow and in wedge). The only difference is mass and stiffness.
Silky smooth shave with the cleaver and Omnibus. Braeburn is still in consideration for AA.
Testament to omnibus, too! Not my favourite base, but definitely a great performer!
But to your point, the first straight razor I really liked was a W&B wedge, so there is a good basis of wedge muscle memory hiding behind my full hollow preference.

A testament to your ability to adapt and adjust your technique.
