I need to examine mine under a microscope, but I'll be darned if the edge is hollow ground.
I've only got a 10x loup but on inspection of a new blade it looks hollow ground to me but please check for yourself with your microscope. P.I need to examine mine under a microscope, but I'll be darned if the edge is hollow ground.

Happy to be wrong.

My "microscope" is a thingy I clip on the camera of my phone. Nothing too fancy... I call it "microscope " though. I like to think Robert Hooke would have loved to have access to it in 1700... maybe his stuff was better...I've only got a 10x loup but on inspection of a new blade it looks hollow ground to me but please check for yourself with your microscope.

Good point. I let them off on a technicality then.Greetings
I think you will find the statement hollow ground to be somewhat misleading but factually true.
If the edge is put on with a revolving abrasive wheel or a large diameter revolving abrasive belt no matter what the diameter of the wheel or belt it will give a hollow ground edge even if the hollow is so ludicrously gentle/shallow to be imperceptible, the edge is still hollow ground; certainly for the purpose of advert speak!

You guys make my head hurt...
Yes the Gem blade gets much better after the first shave. P.Did not know where to put this question.
Do Gem ss blades get smoother after a couple of shaves. I have had 5 shaves with a 1914 and it seems smoother than to begin with.
Or am i just getting better at using the razor.
I didn't say thatSo I'm still crap.
Just blade getting better
