    Default Art of Shaving T.I.

    Does anyone know if A.O.S. 5/8 T.I. ($135) razor is a full hollow? I called and the best answer I could get was " I assume it is", nothing definitive.

    I am not being evasive here Ok..

    According to TI they would probably call that a full hollow..
    But comparing the thickness of the blade to say a Dovo, Revisor or a Wacker it is not near as thin nor as flexible as what those companies call a full hollow...

    So a name is one thing, a thin flexible blade is another...

    That being said the TI's from AOS are very good shavers and take a nice smooth edge...

    I hope that helped and didn't confuse you more

    I would call it a full hollow, but there is definitely a range of "full hollow." I'm not sure if you care more about the actual grind or how that comes across in the shave, but they are stiff shavers. That is actually part of why I like them. I think they are fantastic shavers.
