Thread: 1/4 or 1/2....

So, is anyone making 1/4 hollow razors today? Custom makers only perhaps?

I have been thinking lately that I want a 1/4 (or maybe 1/2...probably 1/4) at 13/16, made out of some fancy steel that is a pain in the arse to hone but will hold an edge well, and would only need occasionally touch ups and professional honings. Possible a S30V type steel, but I'm not too picky.

Anyone know of a razor of this type? If not, anyone know of the custom maker whose work this sounds most like? As for scales, I'm not picky, but I would like them to work nicely with the razor's design.

Thanks!

Most razors advertised as wedges are 1/4 hollow. TI makes wedges. Don't know about dovo.

But if you want fancy, I know robert williams made S30v razors, and makes scales like you want.
You can send him a PM. He is a member here and his nick is PapaBull

Oh! Big +1! Robert's work is superb, and I desperately want one! *Drool*

Off the top of my head, the TI Super Gnome (new) and the Wapi (NOS) are both fuller grinds. I believe theshavingshop.com also has some fuller grinds (new blades, I believe).

Well, Robert Williams was one of the few I contacted when I wanted to start looking for this type of razor. I guess I was ahead of myself. I have sent an e-mail to start the order process.

You might want to consider a Zowada. His 1/4 and 1/2 hollow damascus razors are excellent in all regards. Not inexpensive by any stretch, but well worth it in my opinion.
