Yes, the shaving experience is very different between using a hollow ground or wedge razor. My guess is that the extra mass of the wedge would make it feel like you had a smoother more controlled shave. It is an eye opener when you first compare the shaves from blades at the opposite ends of the grind spectrum. It is like the difference between using a rapier and a boarding cutlass.

I have all types of grinds in my rotation and all are capable of giving a fine shave but I lean towards the very hollow ground ones as favourites. It is all personal preference as to which one favours.

You are lucky to have an heirloom razor to enjoy.
