Pour barbes tres dures :D

I think so :) i have a very hard beard and that is efficient on it, but i don't know how it function on a thin and soft blond hair :D
-
You might have to make some extra hollows too... Just for the blondes :)

Thank you, with my tool, i'm able to make more hollow grind on higher blade, but not on a 5/8. I would need a 100mm wheel. I will maybe buy something like that one day :D

What is the reason you chose the not-quite-5/8 width?
-
I choosed the 5/8 because somebody asked me for a 5/8 :).
The highness is 1.5 cm instead of 1.58. I've lost the 0.08 because of a small problem of grind. i put away a bit too much material in the middle of the grind and i had had to straighten a bit the edge :D
My steel plate is 5.9mm wich is a not too bad thickness for a 5/8. (that is more or less the thickness i foud on the various 5/8 i have at home at the thickest point).
I gave some try with less thick material (1.6mm for a 2/8) , (3.5mm for a 2/8-3./8, 4.5 mm for a 7/8),to make razor, and that wasn't very bright result.
With 5.9 as base, i'm able to make more or less all the size between 5/8 et 8/8, even if the angle on a 8/8 will be a bit aigu (normaly on the 8/8 i have, have a 6.7 mm back thickness :D)
