OK so it's Saturday and not Sunday but I couldn't wait to shave with it. Made up a nice rich Tabac lather and applied the blade to my right cheek. Made a couple of strokes WTG. What? no sound. The razor just seemed to slide over my face. What the heck? A couple more passes and now most of the right side of my face is done. Feels the same, just a smooth glide and no sound. Did it even remove the whiskers? I know its sharp. In fact it took longer than normal to hone and I took such great care to get it right. I tentativly run my fingertips over my cheek expecting to feel stubble. A big friggen smile forms on on my face. Smooth! I turn the razor to check the grind and I'll be damned looks like 1/4 hollow grind. I wonder why I didn't notice the grind before.
So I finish a 3 pass shave and it's just really a nice shave. I have several razors but all full hollow or near that anyway. What a different feeling shave with the 1/4 hollow and it explains the extra effort honing.
