Thread: Does the inertia of the blade dictate shave smoothness?

This is really a YMMV type of thing. Some prefer heavy blades and some prefer light. I have heavy, light and inbetween and I find I get equally good shaves from all of them. As they say sharp is sharp and your skin just see's the edge of the razor. It doesn't know whether you have some huge meatchopper of a dainty 4/8s. Its just a matter of how you use what you have.

I guess you can look at it as the weight and mass being like a crutch so you don't have to think about applying any additional force to the blade and you can maneuver it around your face less. In the end just buy what you like but you should try them all.
