Another special day! My mom just turned 90, and she is going to renew her Drivers License today. Wow, she is still a go getter. Special days call for special razors, and to me the toggle is as special as it gets. I believe I'm the only one to have ever shaved with it and It is by far the best shaving razor I have ever used. Two no pressure passes WTG XTG on 5 and one ATG on my neck on 3 with only a slight touchup around the scar on the right side of my neck. Very close, very smooth, no burn shave. The Castle Forbes played a role, as it gives a great slick cushion. Cucumber WH felt good, and after cleanup some JB gel, and Vintage OS Lime. A great shave for a great day!

It's definitely full hollow. Not quite extra hollow, not bellied either. One of my finest shavers and performing as any good 14, no matter the brand name.
