I like the 5/8 Dovo Tortoise which was my first fixed straight. Good bang for the buck and it does it all well: looks good, shaves well, and takes an edge well. Its within your price range for a new one.

Most of my razors are full hollow and one is a 1/4 hollow. All shave well and feel/sound a little different, but nothing major. Starting out, stay with the 5/8 or 6/8 as they are easier to handle than the 7/8 or 8/8.

A sharpened blade, good prep, and a decent technique will cut through all hair.

Welcome to SRP and enjoy the learning curve. Although challenging, its exciting!

Do you play a Gibson? Seems to me that super locrian fans prefer a wider neck, although I don't see that the diminished 4th should make a difference. Maybe jazzy guys don't play Fenders?

Actually I play a Bach Stradivarius 43LR.... Trumpet lol. I do also dabble on a Washburn classical acoustic/electric. Anyway, not to get off subject

How odd, I also play trumpet and some guitar. I like telecasters personaly, but I do more comping than soloing on guitar.
