Veritas - Low-Angle Spokeshave
This low-angle spokeshave from Veritas features a 2 in., A2-steel cutting edge which is 1/8-in. thickThe Veritas is a lightweight shave similar in concept to vintage Stanley Razor Edge shaves. The blade is easy to adjust for light or coarse shavings, and it has no posts, so it’s a breeze to sharpen. On most low-angle shaves, the blade sits in a fixed position. As a result, the mouth tends to widen gradually as the blade is sharpened. The Veritas shave, however, allows you to adjust the blade forward as it shrinks from wear. The sole is reversible-flat on one side and round on the other-which allows the shave to work either gradual or tight curves. Overall, the Veritas shave is a versatile, well thought-out tool at a reasonable price, which is why it is my choice for best value among the low-angle shaves.
