I have two new razors I just honed. One is a hollow ground torrey, which touches a hanging hair and the half not being held jumps up and seems propelled away from the other half. Its quite remarkable actually. Without any pressure, it touches a hair and there is a light popping sound.
My other, a near-wedge F Herder behaves quite differently. It will catch a hanging hair and, more often than not, slice it up the middle, often without fully severing it. It gives hanging hairs a shave. I am wondering if:
A. Others have noticed this or if the wedge just isnt as sharp as the hollow-ground blade (certainly every time I do a few [~50] laps on my .25μ pasted strop it still seems to benefit marginally).
B. If these are common traits of the grinds and how the hht responds to them, should they give similar shaves, notwithstanding the different hht results?
