What would you prefer for your daily shave?I've got quite wiry/rough whiskers so wedge & near wedge quarter hollow grinds are my preferred choice for multiple days growth.
I don't really shave with anything less than 6/8 unless i'm shaping but to be honest the grind and size shouldn't really matter all that much as long as the razor is definately shave ready. It all comes down to preference.
It's also French steel which is notoriously tough. It was far more than I needed but definitely a strong cutter. I've a near wedge which mows down hair effortlessly and a full hollow which does much of the same. Both are 6/8 and I find it a great size for awkward hairs.I have a 6/8ths that says "pour barbe dure" on the scales, roughly translated means for heavy beard and it's a half hollow, now I don't know if it's due to the steel or the size of blade or even what the grind is but I'm sure @Fergiebilly will be able to tell you more than me.
Over to you Billy,
Great vid, the man is an artist. Who is the music by?Cedric Christ AKA Ali's Blades makes some of the finest full hollow grinds I've ever seen here's one of his western style kamisori blades he's such a talented maker.
