what is a good size to start with. 5/8 or 6/8?
i ment razor...... sorry
My first razor was a Dovo 4/8. Since then I've acquired a number of 5/8's and 6/8's all of which are used in my rotation.
You will need to try the various sizes and see what you like.
Good luck, it's a fun experience
LIMIT
If you have an average or light beard then either one will do. If you beard is heavy/coarse/tough then you will probably do better with a 6/8.
Just my two cents,:)
hello,
I have: 4/8°, 5/8°, 6/8° and 7/8° ones,
and really, that depends the day, the mood,
if I'm hurry I'll take the 5/8°...
the 4/8° and infirior sizes are not for shaving, but for cutting hair and shaving just the nape of the neck.
bye
I find my 6/8" to be more comfortable to use than my 5/8" because I have big hands and big fingers and my fingertips tend to drag on my face a little more often with the 5 than with the 6.
If I should start again I would have chosen a round tip 5/8 or 6/8
Hmmmm whats the best kind of woman, gun, golf clubs etc: etc:
Most is personal preference !!!!
My solution is to own as many as possible :)
However for my tastes a 11/16 is my goto size....
But my best shaver is a 4/8 Go figure :roflmao
See what I mean, just try them all :D
If I only had one razor to shave with , I would choose a 5/8 . The 5/8 will be large enough for the heavy cutting , yet small enough to do the tight spots , ie: upper and lower lip , for me . Thankfully , I have more than one razor , so I prefer a 6/8 for the heavy work , and a 4/8-9/16 for the tight spots . I still use my 5/8 razors , too , but I consider the 5/8 to be a "compromise" razor . If I could only have one , it would be a 5/8 .
Being a newbe, that has large hands I have found that using my 6/8 for my initial shave then use a 4/8 for the final cleaning. The 4/8 seems to work better since I'm not really trying to work through a stiff beard since at this time it has soaked in shaving soap and made softer.
p3...,
From the comments here you have learned that all sizes are the best. If you note the speed with which the razors leave the buy/sell/trade section here you will note that the the 6/8 is probably the fastest mover. From that indicator, and my personal preference, I have to say that were one to buy one size for the "fits all" category it would be a 6/8.
good shaving,
