    The Genco and Spike are two of my favorites.

    EOD, I'm a fan of the heavy grind also. Earlier this wk, I pulled open the drawer that has my current rotation and noticed there were two hollows and 9 heavies. That told me alot. They're harder to find & often cost more, but when you meet one where the fit/ergos work for you its a lovely meeting.

    This old semi-wedgey beast is the best shaver I own.


    I'm pretty fond of the wedge and 1/4 hollow blades.

    I sold my 5/8 wedges I had a Torrey and an G.D. Abrams and sons superwedge. Both shaved amazing but the wife wanted me to thin out the collection. Little does she know I have a Union, Spike wedge in the mail

    I am amazed by my Spike. The size, weight etc just really clicked with me. I will be keeping an eye out for another.

    I generally really like heavy grinds; the exceptions are some of the ones from hard steel. I just find the hard steel and lack of flex to be a bit unforgiving sometimes.
