    A well executed extra hollow singing razor is a marvellous thing. With the right technique they shave beautifully and in my experience, provide the closest shaves.

    I have yet to encounter a modern production razor that has a grind like that of my vintage singing razors.

    Indeed, the modern variety are stiffer and I found the Bergischer Lowe very stiff which is why I ended up selling it a few years ago.

    I have to agree, it is not cost effective to produce such blades. Some get discarded in the process and the craftsmen able to execute such a quality hollowing are few and likely an endangered species.
