Yes, for certain, but the factory hollows were waaaaay thinner than the wedge models, for certain! I cannot decide in the shave, though. Those wedge ones are blazing shavers with a proper edge! Here are a few pics . The 2 in the 1st pic are a well-worn wedge and a reground one. Look at the stabilizer created in the regrind as it was done. The second pic is a hollow, untouched! Third and 4th are of my rough old lightly reground in my rotation. AWESOME shavers, all!
