Gentlemen,

I am planning to do the acquisition of a fine razor but before I need to understand the question of the different grinds. In the literature they are talking of ¼, ½ and full-hallow ground, I am wondering what is the difference between them when shaving and what are the upside and downside of the different grinds, I assume that a ¼ hallow grind will be stiffer and heavier than a full hallow but I don’t know witch one will shave better, it seems that most modern shaver are full hallow but is it really better, when I read the description of some ¼ ground hallow razor at ShavingShop.com I get confused. I am presently learning with a 5/8 Henckels Friodur and I believe it is a ½ hallow ground since I don’t see the belly. I will appreciate any comment to help me understand

By the way is there any comment on the Wacker straight razor, I found they are very nice

Thanks and I have a great day

Norm
