I've been using wedges for a couple years with good results. I recently decided I wanted to try full hollows again to see what kind of shave I can get. I just got a Henckels Friodur 7/8 hollow and had my first shave with it today. It was pretty good, but not quite as close as my wedges. The real test will come in about 24 hours when any potential razor bumps appear. If I have less ingrown hairs than with a wedge, I'll consider that a success.

My question is, there was a lot of skipping over my week-old beard. I find that if I shave more than once a week the razor bumps get out of control. Is this too long to go between shaves with a full hollow? Is there something else I can do to prevent skipping?
