Thread: what grind and blade size is good?

Hi all

I am in the need of some help. What kind of grind is best, easyest to shave with? What is the concave grind? Not able to find a new razor with hthat grind. I am looking to get a old razor, but what kind of grind and size is good? A 3/8 hollow or a 7/8 concave grind?

They're all good Dino. It just depends on what suits your technique and stubble the best.

Test shave with them all and find what you like personally. Some of the guys on here are good enough to send razors for you to try out.

The only condition is that you dont hone them!

Hi, thanks for the help.

The most common to be found are 5/8 full hollow razors. They're as good a place to start as any. A 6/8 is a little bigger, but still manuverable. You can't go wrong there either. In the end, you'll want to try a bunch of different razors, sizes, grinds, etc. and see what you like. Me, I like them all

I have started with a 5/8 hollow ground and it works wonderfully. As jnich noted, there seems to be an abundance of 5/8 around, especially in B/S/T.

Thank you all for good help, I need it so bad!!!!!!

I got a lot to learn when it comes to straight razor´s to
