I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the majority of vintage razors are hollow ground.
Gentlemen and barbers shaved with hollows no matter what type of beard they were up against. The most thick, dense beard can easily be shaved with hollow ground razors. Does it require different technique? Yes. But I'd really like to see this notion that you have to use certain grinds for certain beards go away for good.
