    Good to hear! It just looks like it would be a smooth shaver. 1/4 hollow if I remember correctly? I think that was the other feature that appealed to me.
    How is it to strop? I have a 7/8 HART steel and it feels a bit odd compared to my vintage blades on the flip

    Yup 1/4. I think Michael is waiting for sone new equipment which will mean he can offer other grinds and blade sizes. I think options are about to be expanded.
