Straight Razor of the day

Razor Joseph Elliott 13/16 "Fine India Steel" Wedge
The shave with this newly acquired antique razor was reasonably(y)! I was surprised by how long is the edge during stropping, it's more than 3in. Would like to put the edge through the pasted balsa progression but am unsure how since it's a wedge. Let's see how it goes. Managed a quick 3passes without any issues for a mostly ccs to dfs result.

Much thanks to @MarkB for being so accommodating and willing to part with this excellent piece of history. I assure you I will take very good care of this razor!
