HG Custom Straights

I wasn't able to find a thread about Gergely's razors, and looking at his site, it seems like he makes gorgeous razors:

I have seen a couple pop up in SOTD threads, and would be keen to learn more from those who own one. Please share your experiences (and photos!)

Some initial questions/observations:

He seems, like Andrej, to mostly offer heavier grinds. I was able to find one bellied hollow, but his site loads appallingly slowly so I may have missed any other hollow grinds.

What is his wait time like? He has a no questions asked return policy, so I imagine he is great to deal with.

I'm not sure how I feel about the hex pivot: does the benefit outweigh the aesthetic hit?

Mine is quarter hollow. Well made razor, grind is perfect, steel takes a good edge.
No idea on times since I got mine on the secondary market.
The hex thing, honestly I don't even notice it. I guess it's easier for people who don't want to use a hammer to tighten their scales. Don't know.

Thanks Alex! Seeing yours in the other thread is what sent me off looking for his website

He seems to work with quite a variety of steels.
