Gotta give credit to my girlfriend for that one.

All Razors are Hollow ground the term Wedge is very deceiving but just think about geometry, if the razor was actually a Wedge like many of those diagrams show you could never hone it

We all call heavy bladed old razors "Wedges" we just do, but when discussing grinds it is technically incorrect..
Some out there do look like a wedge because the spine has been worn away but really they do have some hollow

The "Witch" was/is used to produce Double Hollows and Full Hollows it was pretty much used all over by 1910

If you look at the first pic the Orange scaled is a Double hollow and the Black scaled on top row Left pointing down Those are probably post 1910

Picky Picky. Yeah, they all seem to have a bit of curvature when you look at them edge on. But I can't really feel it when I rub up the side. There are the two full hollows that you mentioned and then one other that has enough hollowed out to really feel. Then there is that one frame back or near frame back or whatever you call it.

Funny yall brought this back to life today. I am going to try to get started on some of these this weekend.

From the fuzzy pic it looks like a True Frameback if there is a screw at the front of the spine it might be a Replaceable Blade Style

I'll have to look again. I don't remember seeing a screw, but I don't remember what I had for dinner yesterday, either.
