If you are asking me, one. I even have a vintage straight razor blank (forged, stamped, and jimped but not yet ground) I can send you if that will help with setting it up. If you only plan on making one, @gssixgun should get it. He would both value it and use it more than I would. The straight razor blank thing still applies.
I would love to see it happen. I'm curious as to how well " Cup Grinders" work, compared to the "Hexe Grinders". I couldnt find videos on working ones. I know the still make the Cup Grinders.
I saw quite a few Wen hollow grinders on eBay for $30-40. I think those are geared towards knives, though.
Not the same as a "Cup Grinder". I don't think I would use a Wen Grinder, on knives, razors, or tools that I liked.
The "Witch" made double grinds,,, don't confuse a double hollow with a hollow grind Butch Harner has made the FINEST single hollow grind I have ever seen done on the single belt grinder, I owned it for sometime Charles Lewis of Lewis Razors was the first person that I ever saw set up two identical grinders, and adjust them to cut a Hollow grind from both sides, I know he took it apart because he thought he could do better on a single Bruno aka Snail Forge can grind some fine single hollows and to a high accuracy Victor Carrizi and Korrat are doing what is called a Double Concave grind not to be confused like most do and call it a Bellied hollow, the double concave is a technical grind and pretty cool really It was invented by George Korn of Case Brothers fame Brian Brown and Jenes are VERY capable of extreme fine hollows and accurate grinds Max is well known for the accuracy of his grinds Me I just fix the old ones and make all of them Sharp and Shiny when they need it
I had to look up the double concave. I believe these were called a Hamburg grind, back in the day. The extra hollow "singing" razors ground in Hamburg were often marked "The Hamburg Ring."
I'll see if I can find the old patent from George Korn again Here is an old thread about it and a pic of one of the razors https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/american-double-hollow-ground-korn-razor.50415/
