Thread: The different razor grinds

Hello,

in the last months I have seen a lot of questions and confusion concerning the different razor grinds. Particulary the difference between a bellied full hollow and a "normal" full hollow blade.
But also regarding the graduation from wegde to 1/4 hollow and 1/2 hollow.
That´s why I have made a comparative photo of the different grinds. There are some existing charts of the different grinds, but those are only drawings and do not necessarely correspond to the reality.
Of course this is only the graduation like I see it, others may have another opinion, but I think this can be helpful to get an idea of how hollow a straight razor is and in which way it is ground.

Here is the chart:



best regards,
Ulrik
