    I like a good 1/2 hollow. However, as with everything in life, variety is the spice!

    I would have to say 1/4 hollow to wedge because of the weight and quietness, but I do like all the way up to full hollow.

    Full hollow for me please, but one day I need to at least try a wedge so I know what the other realm is talking about.

    Ya know, As much as I love my "Caruso" blades, there is something about a nice wedge that just seems smoother when I have gone a long time without shaving. Of course, Now you need to get into the different "wedges" Bid dif between an Adoration Ax, a Reynolds, and a SatinWedge~

    A dead straight extra hollow with some extra weight in the spine makes a great combination.
