Thread: Where to find these

Where could I find new 1/2 and 1/4 hollow razors? I have found a few 5/8 and one or two 6/8 in half and that's about it. Any help would be appreciated.

I would watch the classifieds like a hawk
I'm surprised to see Japanese straights for sale

Wacker makes a few and Thiers Issard Spartacus razors come in those grinds. You could also look for some vintage Sheffields, a lot of those are 1/4 to 1/2 hollows. I have a few J.R. Torreys in 1/4 hollows as well.

I have a spanish point new production Wacker in 1/4 hollow and a new production round point wedge from Wacker, both 6/8. Very nice razors and I love the wedge. John carries them over at shavingshop.com

Most Robert Williams blades are 1/4 hollow, if you have the dosh to buy one.

I think that Martin N. at rasurpur.de sells 1/4 hollow LeGrelots in various types of scales.

Good luck!

For non-customs, I think your best bet is Wacker or Hart, as far as avaliability.

Some of my 1/2 and 1/4 hollows were found in the SRP classifieds.
W H GREAVEMEYER, FREDERICK REYNOLDS, JOSEPH ALLEN, B J EYRE and JOSEPH RODGERS are just a few you might find.


Keep your eyes peeled. They show up unexpectedly when you're not looking.

Thanks guys. Just got back from knoxville iowa, saw something on here about 1/4's and it made me wonder where to find them.

Oh yea, my earlier post was about new ones, but MrSell is right on - vintage Sheffield steel.

The TI Spartacus is a half hollow razor, not to mention a great looker and a sweet shaver!
