BG Hell Razor vs. INFI

Can anyone repost photos of the competition Infi hell razor (1) vs the BG? Sounds like the BG is larger and thicker but does anyone have a side by side ?

I picked up the BG HR and curious how it will compare to size to the Infi SFNO I shipped back to Busse to fix a rolled edge

BGHR is about .25" longer, & its handle is ergonomically comfortable, & more filling in the palm. Feels "thicker". Same comfort level in the SE2008 HR, but different feel due to shaping/contour differences. Both seem to be same thickness (EDIT: my mistake, that is not so- 08'SEHR is .187", BGHR is .220") , but BGHR seems thicker, & is def heavier due to its coating, no CBT, & slight grind differences vs the comp finished bare INFI of the SE2008 HR.
This BGHR- 17.42oz
This SE'08- 14.74oz

Sorry Jaxx, not sure I understand the thickness comment, did you say the BG is thicker? or same thickness?

I had to double check...senility & all lol
2008SE HR is .187", BGHR is .220". BG is thicker.
Also, apologies- SEHR is 2008 set HR, not 2007. I made corrections in my last post.
 
Thanks all . Kind of confirms what I thought . I think the BG handle is more comfortable than the SFNO . I need the sFNo back to confirm but it feels like the BG HR is bigger and longer by a hair as well

IMG_9249.jpegIMG_8953.jpegFound some photos . Looks to be slightly longer, maybe slightly thicker, and grip much thicker than the SFNO . These are photos of the BG HR and INFI SFNO compared to the SHE2

So how does BG compare to the HR2?
I can't believe I've never tried either of them🤔🧐🍺

BG's handle feels a little more comfortable to my hand. Same size & thickness scales, save for 1 difference- the handle slabs are more rounded off the spine, while HR2 handle has a bit more "shoulder". Thickness is .220" on both (Note: BGHR is coated, the HR2 I'm comparing it to is stonewashed, yet both seem the same on the ruler) BGHR is 7.25" from tip to handle slab, the HR2 is 8".

Thanks 👍🍺 I may have to check one out. It may also be time for a Light Brigade HR2 😉

Did you strip that one ?

Yes, I etched the logo and stripped it with Citristrip a few years back. The scales are also “tan” micarta because this was before maroon was ever offered, but they naturally darkened to be super red, which I love. Funny thing is that I almost sold it when it was new and now it’s one of my favorite blades.
