    I have a fairly tough beard and my first razor was a DOVO Black Star full hollow, which shaves me just great. I also have a W&B full wedge and that shaves me great as well!

    TBH, I'd just pick a razor you like and go with that one. Glen's recommendations are just that; Recommendations and a starting point. You dont have to rigidly stick to them, its just a good pointer if you have no idea which way to go.

    I am sure most of you have seen this before, but in case not, it is from Heribert Wacker's site at Impressionen eines Handwerks

    Robin, I remember that photo, or one like it, being posted in a thread having to do with grinds many moons ago. I had thought of trying to search for the tread to illustrate the point that full hollows have flex. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

    Edit; got over my laziness and found the thread where it was posted here. It was on the topic of grinds of SRs.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    i have one razor in my rotation that has really noticeable flex, my boker edelwisse and she cuts thru my barbwire chin wiskers without a hitch.and i have razors rangeing for 3/8ths thru 9/8ths all give a great shave. this has led to conclude that a razor is a razor. if its sharp it will get the job done. so find one you like the looks of and make sure it was honed by someone who knows what he or she is doing and shave away.the classifieds are a great place to find what you are looking for. also if i were you i would get a great strop a tony miller latigo or srd bridle. your stropping will either make or break your shave.hope this helps ...enjoy
