Here in the USA, on SRP anyway, it seems to me that we have many members who prefer the heavier grinds, I wonder if that is a worldwide phenomenon, or if like the preference for synthetics over naturals, it seems to be an SRP thing ?

Certainly the professional barbers, if not straight shavers in general switched to the full hollows en masse once they became available.
