    I do like hollow grind razors, but there have been some that we’re too hollow. I have had a few that just did not do it for me. Beautiful displays of workmanship. I just didn’t like the shave. It was not a bad shave, but it was consistently not great. Nothing wrong with the edge, they were pretty chatty, in all cases the new owners loved them. They just were not my favourites.

    Maybe someone already said it but keep the blade almost flat on the face. Hard to do in some areas but it helps immensely with the flexing that hollows can have.

    Thanks. The next thing will be trying repeat it.
    If you're wondering I'm probably being sarcastic.

    That will take some getting used to. I had to go left handed on my left side because I wasn't able to manage the angle crossing over.

    Undies, boxers, skimpies, skids and yes, pants. Always confused me when you call trousers 'pants' across the pond.
