    I find that whoever has honed the blade, full singing razors just do not shave as well for me as heavier grinds. I have a fairly stiff beard and a heavy razor just sails right through while I feel a full hollow, singing type blade seems to catch and scrape for me.

    No refection on the honing, different beards required different techniques, and possibly different razors.

    I own a TI 5/8's Eagle Brand "Singing" full hollow. It is a different animal from my other full hollow razors. What I've found is that the TI prefers firmer pressure during initial stropping and then a few lighter strokes.
