    Default bevel width

    Hi,
    What widths of cutting edge would be proper for full wedge, 1/4 hollow, 1/2 hollow, full hollow razors? Let's say blade widths are a, b, c, d. I believe it's non-linearly proportional to blade width but cannot formulate it so maybe I'm wrong.

    Edit 1:
    I'm assuming blade thickness varies with width so as to keep the bevel angle constant.

    Let me put a crude classification here:

    Hollowness:
    full wedge:A
    1/4 hollow:B
    1/2 hollow:C
    full hollow: D

    blade width:
    15 mm(or 5/8) = a
    18 mm (or 6/8)= b
    20 mm (or 7/8) =c
    25 mm (8/8) = d

    So what edge width should a "A-b" razor have? What about others?

    Edit 2:
    This makes 4x4=16 razors. Pick any combination you are familiar with and tell which bevel width you prefer, that will also help.

    Thanks.
