    When you have time Michael, I'd love to see a picture of the grind (blade shot head on from the toe) since 1/4 ground seems to mean different things in different razors.

    Thanks Michael -- That looks like a nice heavy grind! All in all a good looking razor. Hope you enjoy it.

    So far very much so. It holds a edge and has been a great shave. Has that squeegee effect that I was warned about as compared to a full hollow. But has a nice heft to it and plows through the facial hair with ease.

    I thought it was actually going to be closer to a wedge, thanks for the picture! I am on the list...

    What IS the 'squeegee' effect exactly??

    Usually from wedge profiles you get that feeling when shaving as if the blade is stuck to your face like a vacuum effect. It is slight but at times I can sense it.
