    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
