Hess 44 bellied?
Has anyone else noticed that their Hess 44 has a very subtle belly to the grind?

My Hess 44 is the same. This blade profile is created by a manufacturing process called "double grinding".
Also, the Hess 44 blade is made of stainless steel which is a real pain to grind.

Yea, I know, was just wondering if they were all the same considering they could have been supplied from different makers. So far that makes two that are bellied.

OKay, I check my three Hess 44's and they are all bellied. I also checked my other razors 2 Wester Bros. 6/8, Griffon Carbo Mag. 6/8, and my Ralf Aust 6/8 these are subtle but you can feel it. I checked my Robeson 7/8 and an I. Oxley 5/8 I have also, and neither of them are bellied.
