    I would think about going with one of many vintage Sheffields from around 1890-1920. A fine quarter grind round point in ivory from the best grinders ever, JMO.

    Finally got to try a Hart. 'Fine razor - but not even close to 1/4h. Very near wedge. Depending on your pref, either could make you VERY happy. The comparason of the Hart would be better matched by the Keilschliff wedge from Wacker. Between the two - you just couldn't make a bad choice, though I confess a pref. for the Wacker.
    I need to get a wacker.

    Come try them, Josh. The Stosser Wedge, Kielshliff and the 1/4H. I think you've tried one or two. I've never regretted spending that money. Maybe try a Williams to see if you think its a possibility. I like the feel on the face of the Wacker or Hart over the feel of the Williams, but I've never tried anything that leaves a cleaner path than Robert's steel. Yes, I have an SRP on order as my 3rd Williams.
    That may be just the combination of my shortcomings in shaving skill or what have you, but amongst each of these - there's none that would leave you wanting for an outstanding shave. You'll have other razors you like, but will prob. always smile when you reach for one of these. A frequent line when I emerge from a good shave is: Wacker love - its a beautiful thing.

    This is 1/4 hollow:

    I emailed them recently about the "extra heavy grind" in the description and was told it is indeed 1/4 hollow

    A couple of years ago I went to the Dovo website and they had a 1/4 ground razor available.

    You might want to check into that.

    I have a Wacker, Old Sheffield 1st model, it's a 1/4 grind and a wonderfull shaver. I think they're still avalible although it was a limited series at first.
