Thread: Alex! Look here! Caudano Torino 6/8.

Wow...that's an attractive razor, and it appears it has the weight in the spine to make it go through whiskers like a cadillac.

I wish more razors were made like that - with the hollow grind, french point and lots of weight in the spine.

Here's some more of the blade profile. I tried to get what I thought was the most important features of the spine work, and how the maufacturer moved it into the toe, before getting to the hollow grind. It's a flat spine, with sides that kind of baloon out at to the corners of the honing jig, where the hollow grind starts. One picture of a definite 7/8 for comparison. As you can see..nobody'd be wrong in calling it a 7/8. Nevermind the coticule slurry on the towel, or what I might be using it for. And don't get sidetracked by my use of the term spine work. Even a flat spine takes work. :P Ain't she a beauty?
