Just wondering on the nomenclature of a 1/1 razor, and if they are considered an Extra Hollow Gound razor? Reason is this link:
Messer der Woche I'm not that good with German. There is also a Revisor 5/8 Extra Hollow I am looking at (for future purchase), and it too, is listed as 1/1 hohl.
1/1 means full hollow. How full you'll have to ask the people who use that notation. I very much doubt it distinguishes between extra hollows and not extra hollows.
So far I haven't found any exact mathematical definition for these.
I thought the Henckel scale was a mathematical or at least a definition of a hollow's extent. 10 on the scale is extra hollow.Quote:

And this link shows a Revisor with that same designation in the description, but it actually say's "Extra Hollow Ground" right on the blade. LINK: http://www.revisor-solingen.de/html/5_8_25.html
Every razor on that page seems to be 1/1!
Well, here is a link to MUCH eye candy Raritten Vorschau
These are NOS razors for sale and it might be benfit someone looking for a Solingen razor.
It ought to be worth a thanks..:idea:
