    well i find that the heavier blades are more forgiving in technique but that a well honed full or hollow is just as good on a heavy beard.. mind you they make more noise.

    this past weekend i took off a two month beard with a vintage 5/8 ERN full hollow "Damascus" spike. the first pass removed the beard and the xtg and atg passes were just for practice.

    the unfortunate thing is razor type and size is a matter of personal taste and you will need to try a good number of them until you truly find your favorite. and for that good number.. start looking in the classified. razors do not have to have a big following and a high price to be great shavers. the ERN above cost me $15US on eboy... and a little time polishing and honing.
