Le Grelot 6/8" 1/4 grind

**CloseShave** · 09-28-2009, 05:51 PM

I have both grinds the 1/4 and almost full that Martin sells. My full came from the English razor company who has sold their fulls out last year. Both razors shave equally close and comfortably. The 1/4 is an easier shave which may be a function of its mass. Additionally, the shave with the 1/4 is very quiet. However, you will not be disappointed with the full. Finally, you are correct the one available on the classified was considerably overpriced.

Thanks for your response, CloseShave.

These are the 3/4-full hollow grinds. There are few places that have these still in stock.

The 1/4 hollow grinds are the ones that have become extinct.

What grind is the Dorko 300? It shave as good as the 1/4 grind Le Grelot in your opinion?
