Thanks.

I like both hollow and wedge razors, and the things in between.
Hollows are much easier to hone though

will trade for an nos Fili lol

Like Bruno, I like to mix it up. I started out leaning toward heavy grinds, and now I lean toward very hollow singing-type razors. But I switch back and forth because the heavier grinds are still just cooler somehow.

I love the heft, size, traditional curvy-ness, and the forgiving nature of the heavier grinds. But I do find them harder to hone, and I have much less "feel" when stropping a heavy grind as opposed to a full hollow.

But strangely, the biggest advantage(?) I find with full hollows is the acoustics of the shave. Wedges and quarter-grinds tend to be very quiet whisker-squeegees. I find that the louder hollows give me an extra degree of acoustic feedback that I find useful during a shave when I'm trying to get BBS.

It's funny how we change. When I first tried a true full hollow, I *hated* that sound, and was almost shocked by it. But now I love it, and think "Yeah, baby!" when I hear it. Can't explain it.
