    Lately I have been really focusing on grinding (mainly hollow grinding and keeping everything even and blending grind lines). This is a razor that I just finished up a few hours ago. I honed it and it really took a nice edge. I scored a coticle of the bay about 2 months ago (a used albeit it barely, Ardennes) and have been playing with it as a finisher under running water and a good stropping on my loom strop. This razor really gave a great shave. Currently it seems that the heel is the area that is giving me the most difficulty. This bevel is really nice and even right up to the heel where it get just a touch wider mainly on the back side.
    The specs are:
    Steel- O1
    Grind - Full hollow (as thin as I can currently
    Width- Slightly more that a 6/8
    Point - Spanish
    Scales-Paua ALVS
    Wedge-Faux micarta ivory
    Jimps on the bottom of the tang

    As always thoughts, comments, critiques, and feedback much welcomed!
