    I started with 5/8 and then bought 6/8. That was almost 5 years ago and I now own 4/8 up to almost 1 inch. I have to say it is a personal thing. I have 24 razors in my rotation and use a different one every day. Most are vintage (19), but some are new production (5 are less than 10 years old) and most are in the 5/8 to 6/8 range. I like to shave with them all, but would say 6/8 would be my favorite size as it seems just right to me. Now that I've been shaving for a while and have tried many different razors, I don't find much of a difference in shave quality due to size of razor all other things being equal. My advice is same as that given by others, try some different sizes to figure out what you like best.

    I think that the size 5/8 and 6/8 the most convenient.

    A 6/8 is about the middle ground for razors. Good luck!
