Thread: Does Anybody Know. ..

If SRD has any options for the grind of the razor? I am on the verge of ordering a
5/8ths Ralf Aust strop set, even though most of the razors don't say full hollow there are some that say half hollow which leads me to believe full hollow is the default. I'd personally prefer a near wedge or quarter hollow but those seem to be uncommon with new razors.
Does anybody know if the grind can be selected at SRD? I sent them a message but no reply and I'm really eager to get the ball rolling so thought I'd spin it in here.

Thanks in advance guys,

Max

That's really strange because when I always had questions about a product from SRD I always had a reply within the hour. The only thing I can suggest is you can always go directly to the RAlf aust website and see if they have the grind you are looking for. When I went on there and poked around I didn't see any razor that had a description of the grind of the razor I always thought that all of Ralf Aust razors are full hollow but I could be mistaken. You can always email Herr Aust and ask him. When I emailed him about a 7/8 razor I wanted to purchase I had a response within 24 hours.

Perusing the Ralf Aust site, your only options are round, square (American) and Spanish point with Carbon or Stainless Steel and choice of scales/decorations, no grind options and AFAIK, they are all full hollow. SRD does carry some near wedge razors from Esbjerg-Koraat, and I think they are the only ones... Naturally, I cannot speak for SRD.

As far as I know, Austs only come in a full hollow grind.

I asked Mr Aust about thicker grinds on his razors to which he replied that he had some half and quarter hollow razors specially finished and ready to ship in 3 weeks. I then responded by asking how to place an order for one and received no response.
