Well I honed my first 7/8 1/2 Hollow barbers use last night and went at it this morning.
It was an odd shave. The blade was sharp for a shave but could have been sharper. The odd thing was that the edge of the blade felt very thick compared to the 1/4 hollow and full hollows that I am used to. The weight was odd. I literally let the blade slide down my face. I had to use a little momentum to go ATG but for a first shave with a 1/2 hollow 7/8 razor, I'd give it a 7 out of 10. Would have been an 8 but I need to spend more time on the hone.
Any other experiences that are similar out there?
