Half hollow recommendations?

[noahpictures]

Lately I have been favoring half hollow razors. I am having a difficult time finding them maybe because they're not as popular as the "singing" razors.
Any recommendations? Are there any specific brands/models that can be searched?

EDIT: I uploaded an illustration of the different grinds.

Are you looking for new or vintage?

Ya don't see a lot of them. I just sold a nice Crown and Sword that was a half hollow. Look for one of those.

Le Grelot made a super half hollow. Pretty hard to find but if you see one, grab it. A few other French makers did a "barbe dure" (tough beard) which were usually half hollows.

Look for some vintage Sheffield hollow grounds. They tend to not be as hollow as German razors. I've got a couple of Joseph Rodgers and I've sold a number if others Sheffields that were 1/2 hollows.

Take a good look at the Wacker 1/4 grind. It's more like a half hollow, but it's not a vintage.

I have a Joseph Elliot - Real Hollow it would be just slightly heavier grind than a half hollow or there abouts. Great razor

I believe the Union Cutlery "Spike" brand razors are close to half ground, plentiful and good shavers too. I'll have to double check when I get home, but I know they are a heavier grind.

I uploaded an illustration of the different grinds to my original post.

~~~~I haven't been looking/watching ebay (for sale) vintage razors lately but when I was, it seemed the blades no one bid on were 1/2 hollows. If you don't mind wading through their offerings, I'd take a look towards ebay for 1/2 hollow blades
