    I love my blades that I, and most others, would call wedges, but they are not true wedges since they are all at least slightly hollowed. As such, I'm going with HH/QH.

    Newbie w/ wiry whiskers & questionable skills, prefers 1/2 - 1/4 hollows. Looking for heavier wedge to share late evening shaves, pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain. Sorry, no full hollows thanks.

    You bastard! I knew you were cheating on me. Sure at first you said "let's just take some time to ourselves". I was suspicious when I saw you browsing EBay many late nights and lo and behold, here you are posting for razors with bigger grinds than mine...

    Frida!

    I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I thought your curves and your beautiful singing voice would be enough for me. But now I realize I need a razor with more substance, one who doesn't bend in the face of every obstacle on um ... my face. Besides you deserve someone better, someone who knows how to handle you and bring out your full (hollow) potential.

    It's over....for now.

    I voted for quarter hollow. I have a quarter and singing razor and love them both, but i feel like i get a slightly closer shave out of the quarter.

    Quarter hollow is probably my favorite grind. However, I have a full wedge that I really like also.
