    During the Summer of 2008, there was a group buy on B&B for a limited edition of TI "Le Grelot" 6/8, round point, quarter-hollow razors (photos, here), made from some blade blanks that had been discovered and made available. Before then, or since, I haven't heard or read about any other "mass" production of a similarly ground (or heavier) straight razor.
    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    While not a true wedge a TI with X thick grind, whatever that means, is available here 'Basic Black' range . It might be worth emailing for a better explanation of what exactly the grind is.

    Yeah I do notice that not a lot of places list the grind. I presume they're probably full hollow unless otherwise stated.

    Yea, that site also lists TI blades as full hollow in some other models so I would take it that since they are listing these as X thick they rae heavier grinds than full hollow.
