How significant is the degree of the hollow?
Hello all, new to the forum and have a question regarding a razor purchase I'm considering.
I have been shaving with a Dovo shavette (the one that takes the replacement razor blades) for a couple years now and am finally getting around to upgrading to a real straight.
I have spent a LOT of time looking at razors and reviews and have just about fallen in love with the new 5/8 Aust round tip with the rosewood scales. HOWEVER, I have a pretty think, red beard and I've heard that a less hollowed blade may be better for me and that the Aust's are definitely singing blades.
First, does anyone know if the Aust blade is a full, 1/2, 1/4, etc. hallow? And second, how big a deal is it really that I look for a thicker blade?
Thanks everyone!
