I don't have a weeks worth of razors so I have few to compare and contrast.

I have a 5/8 DD dwarf that was used long and hard judging by the flat on its spine. not perfectly even, not extremely wide but an obvious flat around 1mm+ I taped and honed it, while the bevel does not appear out of line to many I've seen here- but it gets near the point where you might call it wide

I try to compare to a 4/8 Shumate BdL. Practically new used condition, only the faintest touch of honing on the spine with a corresponding teeny tiny bevel.

Between the two I much prefer the shumate. It cuts cleaner, quicker, closer than the dwarf.

Admittedly I did monkey around with the DD maybe too much. I've honed it twice and last time with a single layer 3m 35 tape enough to reset the bevel with this new angle 1000 to the 5 to the 8. stropped it at least 3 times since. no hints of wire under the scope

It shaves. But the shumate shows me how much better a shave can be. My other raz also has a smallish bevel. After my initial learning curve I set it aside as it too is pretty new looking and cost me alot more to aquire so that's my collection. (the rest are in the rehab bin waiting for me to stop yacking on the net)

Oh yeah the question. How does bevel size effect shavability and edge life in your experience?
