Thread: Full Wedge and 1/4 Hollow Razors - Any ideas?

I found a razor that I absolutely fell in love with (I bought it from Bill). It was my first razor that wasnt fully hollow ground. I want to find more razors that have Wedge blades or anything up to 1/4 hollow, any ideas? BTW, I am looking for function over form.

Bills description of the blade when asked was: "If you used Henckels 16 step guide for hollowness, true wedge being #1 and a near frame back being #16, then I think your razor is about a 2 1/2 or 3, possibly a #4, from a true wedge. (Yes, there was a 2 1/2.)

Thanks!

JL,

Please put up a photo or two when you get it.

PM Randydance, he had some great "business" razors that were 1/4 hollow ground that he calls "beginner" razors. They are awesome. I warn you though, they come SHAVE ready. I mean, like sharp beyond your imagination. Now he may not have any left, or just a few, so keep this quiet. Don't let the other members know, OK?

I just bid on Vlad's 2-day set. If I win it, I may have to sell off a few of my 1/4 hollows and wedges.

here are pictures of the razor from bills site, hopes this helps. and yes, I am interested in purchasing these razors from anyone who might be selling.

I own one of ST. Pauls 1/4 Hollows from Randy - what an amazing razor and I can safely say it came hellishly sharp shave ready I also have a couple of other nice little 1/4 hollows ... My challenge for the last week is trying to get an edge on this wedge I picked up on e-bay
my wedge

Classic Shaving also do a TI half hollow - I've been tempted to buy for some time now TI Half Hollow
hope this helps

SSSHHHHH! That was supposed to be a secret!

JL, here is the Henckels chart if you haven't seen it before.

Also how did you get that picture so big?
I always have to shrink them down too fit.

Hey I must be learning summit .... last night I used some electrical tape on the spine of that wedge -- I wasn't getting very far without it .. I come in this morning and read Randy's advice -- hey :-) finally the penny might be sinking in with me ........

fyi .. I used the St. Paul this morning .. fantastic ( as usual !!! )

Thanks again Randy .
