So I have a whipped dog that I'm learning on, but being the Christmas season I'd like to get a new razor. I'm looking for functional, yet nice, so it can hopefully become my go-to for life. $100-200 budget.

Debating between 5/8 and 6/8 as well. The whipped dog I have is 5/8 and it works well. I always have at least a goatee, so under the nose won't be an issue.

As always, thanks to the vets who respond to my post.
