Got my first real cut last weekend. I was using a 4/8 for the first time, starting an ear to chin stroke, when I felt some pulling at the start of the stroke a little in front of my right ear. Without thinking, instead of changing the angle, I made a slight slicing movement and felt the blade dig in. This one's gonna scar, but that's really not concerning.

Till then, I had been using mostly 5/8 and 6/8's blades, sometimes a 7/8, which I am still intimidated with. A few nicks here and then, but nothing major. Is the 4/8 less forgiving?
