    I don't know; maybe it's just razor marketing language that has no further meaning than hollow

    two marketing advisors were shaving one day and razor envy enters. The envious one says "my razor is better", "no mine is!" "oh yeah?" "Yeah!" "Mines ice hardened steel" "mines damascene steel" "mines got ivory" "mines got MOP" "mines Full hollow ground" "oh yeah!? well...uhh...mine's EXTRA hollow SUCKA!!"

    Now that I've thought about it for a bit, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the movement from Sheffield "Hollow Ground" blade (which were typically half or quarter hollow), to "modern" hollow grinds (which seem to usually refer to full hollow razors).

    Just a question/theory; my razor history is quite lacking, so I could very well be way off.

    I suspect the definition of the term has changed over time. I've got a twin of this (the flat point) wonderful, old W&B shoulderless, which is blade stamped "Extra Hollow Ground" but it is by modern reckoning, a beefy, half-hollow.

    You're right, on second look, the pic of crichton's W&B looks very much full hollow.

    If I can get this pic to load you'll be able to see why I mistook crichton's full hollow for my less than full. It rates about a III1/2 or IV, so call it a 1/2 to 3/4 hollow.

    As my camera's about a thousand miles way right now, I'll have to settle for a pre-resto pic I found in the bowels of my HD.
