    Let me see what I have. I know I have a french Arbenz that I a frameback but it's a 7/8's as well

    Oh yeah, I'd throw that Arbenz into the mix too just on principle - that's a beaut!

    Seriously, are we going to have to have a whipround to find you a small/midsize blade?

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    OK so after digging through more razors here are the closest things to full hollows that I have.

    17/16 Tally Ho - full hollow
    7/8 Holley MFG Co stubby - 1/2 hollow
    3/4 W&B Celebrated Anglo-Saxon Concave Razor - faux frameback
    5/8 E.G Gustafsson Eskilstuna faux frameback

    I just took a look at your pictures under the microscope and it looks like the Tally Ho is covered in extremely rare and highly contagious bacterial microbes. Better send it to me so that I can dispose of it properly.
