I got my razor from Whipped Dog. It's a 5/8 hollow, but damn if I can figure out what manufacture. I was doing a little fishing for info in the acquisition and shave of the day threads, but no joy. Just 3 squiggles on the front of the tang and a 2 on the back.
I am glad I have a variety of razors to shave with so early in my shaving journey. This new one is the lightest of my 3, so getting used to handling it was awkward at first, but it shaves great after the edge Larry Andro put on it. I have found that in my last couple of shaves I have been perhaps a little aggressive, as I am getting a couple of nicks and weepers, which was less common earlier on. I think it's time to slow back down and focus on technique again.
