Hey Everyone! Just thought i would post some pics of my new razor(Joe Chandler 9/8) I love choppers! What do you guys think? Half Hollow or Full? I have looked at a straight razor chart and it looks half to me but just wanted some professionals input!

Definitely half bordering on a quarter hollow.
Quarter hollow in my opinion. Buy its a fine line and some folks feel different about how its figured.
A "heavy" half hollow or a "light" quarter as I have come to term them. YMMV of course.
id label that 1/4 if it was mine. beautiful razor ya got there. please let us know how it shaves.
I had my first shave with it yesterday. It was an excellent shave! I appreciate everyone's input.
Some serious chopper, that one. Beautiful work. I have no capacity to eyeball the grind, but if it shaves well...
Joe Chandler's razors kick ass, I am envious of that blade.
The grind has no shoulder, typical of wedge or 1/4 hollows but it's very thin at the belly, not typical of that grind.
I've no doubt it's a ripsnorter of a shave.
Well...Are we gonna do a passaround or WHAT? :roflmao
That is a nice looking piece!.. Cant say it any better than onimaru55 just did..
I’d need to see it in person to tell...:w:w
I am thinking so, Harold! :DQuote:

That type of grind requires using more than one diameter grinding wheel. Several artisans are doing something similar these days.
