Half hollow to singing on your scale, and in between.

I like all grinds, but I like the full hollow to singing blades best.

Gonna have to give the straight a try one day. I’ve never used one before.

Quarter hollow most of the time just be cause I like the feel of the rigid blade. But I do sometimes like the forgiving nature of a full or even extra hollow now and then.

I enjoy them all

I switch between a wedge and a full hollow. I've never tried a "singing" razor, but I'm interested. Gonna have to start poking around a few BST's and see what I can find.

I prefer quarter to half hollow. The heft of the razor does the work, so you are not worried about applying pressure and cutting yourself...

It's just a term to describe the blades that are very hollow-ground. They make a ringing sound when you strop them. They're usually ground really thin, but most full-hollow blades will 'sing' - some just do it more than others.
