I was wondering what the difference is in full half quarter etc.
i just picked up a razor off ebay that seems very thin and loud when i touch it.
im assuming its a full ground, but possible could be singing?
Thanks

Not to derail you, Ben, but I actually prefer this image to answer that question:

Not to derail you, but that image is contained in Ben's link.
.... Wow. How did I miss that >.<
Mea culpa, Ben, Robin.
ok but whats the difference in shaves, is one easier or smoother to shave with, do you have to use more pressure with one over the other?
There isn't much difference in shave if they are all at the same sharpness... However, more hollow blades will "flex" more... It's just a difference in technique.
Also, for heavier beards, heavier blades cut better due to the weight... Like a snow plough versus a shovel
There is no universally valid answer to that question. More hollow grinds typically offer more flex, which some people like, and others hate. Less hollow grinds also provide less feedback, again a matter of personal preference. Add various widths, and you will understand why this question cannot be answered.
Pressure is never used.
