    Default Wedge to hollow

    Is is possible to take a wedge razor and convert it to a hollow razor? The reason I'm asking is I have a Torrey that had a smile. Had to take of about 1/8" off the edge to straight it. This makes the bevel really long. Then I thought, hmmmm, if I remove material from the razor and convert it to a "hollow" grind..........

    Some razors were designed to have a smile. If you can post a picture, it might help people advise.

    Oh, maybe I just made a noob mistake. Anyway, here is a pic. The razor wasn't much and bought more for practice than shaving. Need to replace the scales on it also. Just wanted to start with this one before sharpening, replacing the scales on the ones I plan on shaving with. Scroll down a bit to my posts here.
