Thread: Anyone know the best full hollow razor

AND as your expertise increases your tastes change too.

That said, I would think any currently made modern full hollow from a reputable maker will shave just fine if you are looking at new. Whether they shave any better than the other grinds is a matter of personal preference mostly. A vintage full hollow in good condition is nothing to sneeze at either.

My unmarked 6/8 honed by hatzicho. Found in Sheffield.

I like Revisor...

I like Bokers

I like Wackers

I like razors that shave well. I like them all.

The Gold Dollar Presidential Line,,,,smoothest shaving razor ever made.

The razor that you get the best shave from. I have five s/r's and i have not made my mind up on which one gives the best shave. I like them all. Just my 2 cents.

Or Kropp, Wostenholm, Bengall. I like the old ones.
Seriously is all personal preference. Am sure the reputable new ones also good. But I like my old fashioned hobby with old blades.

When you start to hone you'll have good idea which ones are good and which ones are not as good.

Another observation was the extra full hollow ground blades that ring tend to have harder steel and hone to a micro bevel in comparison to those that dont. JMO

Like taking candy from a baby easy question to ansere PUMA that just cane from being honed by Lin or GSsixgun.

Well it seems that the longest running producer is likely JA Henckels, so if there is a reason any one company would out produce all the others for 250 years, I'm going to say it is because they have the best quality.
