    Default Grinds...what are the options

    I am fairly sure I have been shaving with a full hollow grind and have read that some people here have trouble with these...

    Can some one or more than one of you explain all of my grind options and how they relate to width of the blade etc?

    Thanks

    There is no relationship between grind & blade width. It's more to do with the blade's stiffness. You can be a little less careful of angle with a wedge compared to a full hollow but that's a generalisation.
