Thread: does 1/4 1/2 full hollow grind make that much of a difference?

It seems that most of the more recent razors are full hollow ground. It's almost as if the razor 'evolved' to be that style.

I guess they must be easier to hone and they are lighter, but are there any other advantages not immediately apparent to a novice such as myself?

old days: had more metal, less technology to do a good job hollowing out

less old days: metal more precisous, hollowing grinders good
