    When I started, I was very partial to hollow grinds, but now, love them all, and I will shave with whatever I decide to pick up.

    My preference is for the bigger Sheffields, and since so many of them met street grinders, I've got them in near wedge, 1/4 hollow, 1/2 hollow and full hollow, and with the same FBU designation.

    As per BobH, if I was pushed to pick one, it would specifically be a Sheffield 8/8 or 9/8 hollow ground razor, but wouldn't turn my nose up at a Sheffield 1/2 or 1/4 either.....

    I prefer the larger, 7/8 - 1 1/4 wedge or near wedge blades I have. Now I do use the smaller hollow ground blades in my collection as well.
    But the heft and grind on the larger blades does it for me. I also don't care for the audible feedback of the hollow ground blades.

    So to me, It's a wedge or near wedge most days
