Thread: New razor grinds

Here is Jerry Stark's 7/8 "extra hollowed" in 52100 steel:

Just a word of caution on the Special Coiffeur: if you do buy one of these make sure it's from a retailer who pre-hones their razors to shave ready standard. Out of the box, lower end TIs can have very irregular bevels that take some putting right. Far better to buy one that's already been fixed.

It ain't only the lower end ones.

Have passed on 2 recently that went cheap for that reason, the bevels were all over the place.

Will be home in a bit over a week. Will post pics of how hollow some of my classics are in comparison. From memory it looks like most of those pictured are not too hollow for my taste. Thanks
