Thread: heavy blades --hollow ground

I was thinking this, this morning when doing the fools pass, thinking my heavier blades feel better and the full hollows seems to leave weepers more.

I'm on the other team I have a few big hollows 8/8 and 15/16 and I've also owned a few wedges Wade & Butcher and a modern Wacker wedge and found neither of those razors can match my big hollow blades in a shaving match up.

Any and all grinds works just fine for me.
That said, there is nothing like a full hollow for that "million dollar man" feeling

Weepers have nothing to do with the grind & everything to do with the edge &/or user...

As for wedges vs hollows read thebigspendurs reply: http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...ml#post1342729

Anyone that thinks a wedge shaves a heavy beard 'better' than a full hollow is arguing for their limitations. The razors are simply not equally honed or the technique is lacking. Personal preference is another kettle of fish.
