Thread: Recommend a good half/quarter 6/8ish?

A friend is sending me a BRW to try that I should receive tomorrow.

When you look at the grind profile it is definitely what I would call a Half Hollow. Shaves as stiffly as a half hollow but with the closeness of a full hollow for me. I haven't used anything like it. Not meaning to sound like a fanboy...as this is the first BB razor that I have used. But I am very pleased with it, as I guess can be inferred from my posts...

I was actually very pleasantly surprised by the amount of audio feedback I got from mine. I have several TI 5/8 half-hollows that give no audible feedback of any tangible sort...this was a nice unexpected "feature" to me that I appreciate from my full-hollows.

The profile that Denvernoob posted does indeed look like what I would call half hollow (thanks Denver). I have seen pictures of some of the new line that Brian has ground much thinner than what I would call half hollow though.
