I still get BBS with my new 1/4 grinds but it seems like I have to work just a little bit harder to achieve it. Objective will be to get my 1/4's to shave like my full hollows. Almost there..
thanks
Ultimately, I feel it is a matter of taste. I shave with a full hollow or a 1/4 grind equally well. This should be the case if they have equally shave-ready edges. However, I just happen to like the feel of the 1/4 grind when shaving. The additional stiffness just seems a bit more comfortable for me. YMMV and all of that...
