Thread: Shaving with a Thiers-Issard full hollow singing?

I replied to another thread to give my take on the Dovo Prima Klang, I'll just copy what I said in the other thread.

Extra hollow blades in my opinion should only be used by experienced shavers. There really can't be any mistakes when it comes to shaving. I am used to old Sheffield steel and the second time I used the Prima Klang my angle wasn't just right on my chin, and i almost sliced a chunk of my skin clear off. Luckily the styptic held it together until it stuck. Took about a week to stop bleeding.

These extra hollows allow for some unreal maneuvering, but without perfect angles and pressure IMO they can cause damage a lot easier than say a half hollow or wedge. I have been straight shaving since I was 16, so having 12-13 years experience allowed me to adapt to this grind. So if there are any beginners reading this, take my advice and get a blade with a heavier grind, Your face will thank you for it. But by all means when you're ready buy the Prima Klang, I think it's one of Dovo's greatest razors, new or vintage.
