If it was much more hollow ground, it would be border line on failing, it will flex 2mm on my thumbnail. Can't help but admire the craftsmanship of the old gents who made them. Would be great to see photos of others you have in your inventory Robin.
    Of the three Palmera #14's I have, not one is a bellied hollow ground razor, if the pic attached is considered bellied. Mine each have an almost "microtome" type shape to the blade - strange.

    Bakelite scales, curved script, no exportation stamp. I'm thinking late 40's~early 50"s...?

    That razor is brand new, NOS...man that's a sweet looking straight, obviously a full 8/8, gather it's superbly full hollow, doesn't have a mythical bellied grind as well by chance?

    Nope. No double concave. Which is good for me, because...the honing...

    And it is amazingly hollow. I think this is a factor in how these big 14's can be so nimble on your face...
