Hoglahoo and I were kicking this around in chat the other day too. During the course of our discussion, I went and shaved with the lightest hollow grind I have ever used: a 5/8 full hollow. Not the smallest of razors but I have been using wedges, and half hollows that range from 6/8+ to 8/8. I feel like I had to control the 5/8 with more force to keep it from deflecting, but in the end it was my most comfortable shave as far as irritation (which I still get in certain spots). I even did some ATG which I NEVER do. All in all, there are a lot of variables in my situation. Still, I think it is interesting and will be using more hollow grinds to see what happens!
