Does anyone even make wedge/ flat ground straight razors any more? I can't find them from any of my usual shaving vendors. Are these mainly found in the vintage market?

If these are out of production, what is closest in modern production- 1/2 grind? 1/4 grind? I forget which is the thinner edge.

Thanks in advance. :001_smile

Only custom makers make wedge ground razors these days. They are not nearly as popular as a hollow ground. There really isn't any advantage to them once you have the technique down.
