    Default Joe Chandler Straight razor Pics

    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.

    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.
