I found the bit about which type of razor to pick for which type of beard interesting.
I also found this interesting. I’ve only used hollow grind razors, and would love to try other grinds at some point.
I have to say I’m skeptical about the grind needing to be different for different types of facial hair though. I’d assume that as long as a razor is sharp it’ll shave well with good technique. I’ve definitely been wrong before though!
I agree. I think as your technique improves, you learn to adapt to different razors. If the average beard hair diameter is 100 microns (Gillette) then only the first 0.5 mm of the edge matters in cutting (I’m making assumptions about 3-sigma).
