I know what a full hollow looks like, and I know what a true wedge looks like. I use fractions to describe where in the continuum a razor lies - a 1/4 hollow would be pretty wedgie, a 1/2 hollow in the middle, and a 3/4 hollow nearly full hollow. Not everyone will use the same fraction to describe a given razor, but when looking at a razor end on, everyone should see the same thing. Pictures speak more loudly than words.
