First time I have seen this blade and I'm wondering if anybody has purchased it. If so is this a true half hollow?

I have a Best Quality in a 5/8.
A fanstastic razor. It was my first razor and is still used every second day (while my eBay scores are used inbetween)

Ya I've seen these and they are always "full hollow". This one is advertised as a "half hollow" though. I have never seen these and can't find them on other sites.
I have one, and I believe it to be half-hollow, although I've never used a half-hollow before so I couldn't tell you 100% if this is the grind they have. It sure looks and feels half hollow to me, though.
I really didn't care for the shave at first, but I've come around to it. It's an excellent shaver at a good price. A vintage for similar price could get you a whole lot more, but if you want to buy new you wouldn't regret it. I will tell you it shares more similarities with a full hollow than with a wedgier grind.

I also have the 5/8 and love it. It is my only razor at the moment but that is a testiment to how good it is to start with. I will not be able to buy a second razor for quite some time and when I do I will be looking for something much nicer and in stainless steel. I fyou get it shave ready I think it is a great place to start.
