Is it just that the bevels are wide enough on a wedge that you can see the scratches, as opposed to the very thin bevels of a regular razor?
You see, I think those scratches that you have in your pic aren't what I am talking about. Mine aren't on the bevel but past the bevel on the blade. I agree with Kev as to what your scratches may be though. I agree with the slurry and edge ideas though for what I am talking about. For your razor Seraphim, the bevel no matter how wide should be uniform scratches, so that must either be errant grit from a coarser stone or scratches that were never honed away. In any case, if it shaves well, it doesn't really matter, does it? lol

Sorry, I'm not taking on any more "projects". That means no scales, restoration, honing, you name it. Look for my custom razors in the future though!
