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.
From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

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.

...and at $350 a pop, not for the financially faint-of-heart. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

Some Wacker 1/4 hol are still available last time I checked. Exquisit shavers.
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.Last edited by pinklather; 10-18-2012 at 02:28 AM.
