As has been stated all properly sharpened blades will deliver a close comfortable shave in practiced hands.
Beyond that it has to do with personal preference.
My preference has changed over time and I enjoy the differences in the feel of using a variety of sizes and grinds.
That said if you “Need to hear some feed back” then the full and extra hollows are the way to go… ;)
Properly honed they shave as well as any other grind. They sound and feel a bit different in use but that is about all I see in it.

Thank you bob---maybe it will sing me a good tune;)
My extra hollow bit me quite a bit when I first started so I switched to a half hollow. After about six months of technique perfecting The extra hollow was delivering great shaves. So for me as long as I was on top of my shave it was great.
Well will give it a try when razor comes in.thank you :chapeau
My rotation has at least one of each grind except the bellied hollow. I enjoy listening to how each grind "sings" when I shave with it. I have compared the extra hollow to listening to a soprano, all the way down to the basso profundo of a true wedge. And they all tell me in no uncertain terms when I am not listening closely to them.
I would hope that there is a sound engineer among the SRP members that could record the song of each grind and get it in the hands of a composer to compose a "Sonata of Straight Razors".
very cool:gl:
I "Just say 'No!'" to full-hollow ground razors. They scare the heck out of me, and if I don't end-up cutting/nicking myself, I do end-up with a much-less-than satisfactory shave (quality and experience). Nope, in descending order, I prefer near-wedge, quarter-hollow, and half-hollow (5/8-to-6/8, in size).
Smooth shaving!
That's a good thought something to thing about before I make a mistake.:chapeau
