Thread: 4/8 vs 5/8 or 7/8 razor ?

My recommendation for a first blade is always the exact same and I have reasons...

Size 6/8 = Easier to keep flat on the strop for a newb (very, very important), dead center on the size chart so you can decide which direction to go on your second razor.. has some heft for those less than confident first strokes, and still easy to handle....

Grind Half hollow = Again dead center on the chart so you can decide which direction to go after your first razor... Heft for newb shaving yet has some flex for comfort....


Round point = Hey it is a little safer anyway not a lot but every little bit helps at first...
