Dear All,

i used to have a nice collection of various straights a few years back before selling them all. I have recently got back in to straight razors again.

i started off with a friodur 472 and a small henkotsu kamisori.

although being very excited about the friodur due to its reputation, i was a little dissapointed with it. It has a "tin" like feed back to it when shaving, seems a bit flimsy and toy like. It struggled on my chin hair. The blade was professionally honed. I dont remember hollow grounds feeling like this.

the kamisori i think being thicker and heavier yielded better results.

maybe i am just a wedgier kind of guy? Maybe my beared prefers a half or quarter hollow. Which begs the question:

which 6/8ish quarter/half hollow preferably with a square or spanish point would you recommend? either vintage or modern.

thanks in advance,

danny
