    Default Most hollow razor on the market

    Anyone know of the most hollow razor one can buy today? (Not a custom).

    I think it is DOVO's PRIMA KLANG, but I'd like to explore other options before making a purchase. I never buy brand new razors so this is a new experience, but I want an extra hollow, as hollow as possible.

    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    It's a vintage blade, but you might still be able to catch the one referenced in this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/begin...priceless.html
    The eBay link is: EVERLAST MAJESTIC: RARE NY STRAIGHT RAZOR SINGING BLADE - eBay (item 120688892542 end time Mar-24-11 22:53:44 PDT)

    The seller states that it is at the "highest end of hollow ground".
    In fact, it's so hollow that you can't even see part of the blade.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    HNSB--You are a funny guy--I'm glad I saw that eBay ad before I looked at this thread or I would have thought you were serious.

    The Berg Lowe I used was a full hollow, but not an extra hollow. Awesome shave, feel, balance, and looks though !

    Have u seen its frown??? I'd hate to have to hone that razor!

    I'm pretty certain the Prima Klang is more hollow than the Bergischer Lowe...

    Cool

    The Prima Klang I believe you're right, but a deceivingly flexible blade is also found on the Bismark's, Master's and the Renaissance razors they are full hollow but also shoulder-less and that allows the blade to flex quite well...
    Something to look at anyway...

    There are a few of the Revisors and Wackers that are pretty finely ground also...

    The TI's have a wonderful edge and shave but are nowhere near the Solingen razors for hollowness


    Now just for S&G, Gugi owns the most finely ground blade I think I have ever honed, a Frank Hess, followed very closely by a American made Boker I have
