Thread: Ya don't ask, ya don't learn

I know this is a super simple question, but can someone tell me if this razor is a full hallow grind?

I'm having trouble drawing some distinction between grinds.

It spans from wedge to quarter to half(?) to three-quarters to full (?) to extra hallow gind?

Its all new to me.

I don't know if this will help you The straight razor - Straight Razor Place Wiki . I have difficulty at time distinguishing between grinds.

From the pic compared to the chart and the presence of the double grind shoulder my guess is Full Hollow, if the razor were in hand and I could feel a belly or see the belly against a light then I might guess different


Let me if I win the contest

That was super helpful. From those diagrams, I'm thinking 1/2 hollow grind.

Its sooo close. That was my first impression, but then I double guessed myself... Hmmmm.....

I'm going to have to go with ...... FULL!!!!

You sir win the grand prize.

Call it 3/4 hollow which is missing from that chart and be done

I have a very big screen and I can almost see a belly. I would say Glen wins. Now I am looking at the end of the razor and it is still clear and about 4 inches tall on my screen.
