current manufacturers who make a 1/4 hollow grind
Are there any existing manufacturers who currently produce 1/4 hollow grinds besides custom makers?

Thiers Issard has produced some. I think it was a batch of the Le Grelot razors. Hart Steel also has 1/4 ground razors. In fact, all of them are 1/4 ground.

There was a special group-buy over on "that other shaving forum" about 4-5 years ago, for some (IIRC) NOS 6/8 Le Grelot blade blanks, which TI ground and finished to the group specs (1/4-grind with "pink ivory" scales). The cost was $250, and I bought-in. To make a long story short(er), the curved thumb notch didn't have jimps (nor were there any up-top), and I wasn't happy enough with it, so I sold it. I dunno if I'd buy it back, but I do regret letting it go.

TI also offer some new forged 1/4 hollow razors "Le Grelot like" Wacker have also had some 1/4's, but I'm not sure whether they were (are) sold seperately or just in a set.
Need help or tutoring? Check out the .

Hart Steel was the first that came to my mind. Sort of plain looking, but I am always VERY happy when the Hart Steel comes up in the rotation. Originally Posted by Mephisto

IIRC the TI super gnome is a 1/4 hollow . The SRP limited is a great shaver and a beautiful razor.

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.
