Thread: Need backup

I've never noticed full hollows being any more difficult than any of my other razors, and 5/8" seems to be the easiest blade depth for me to handle, but many recommend you start with at least two razors just to compare edges so you can tell if the one you use is sharp. Others suggest a DE blade for that... which is a cheaper alternative. As for which classifieds sellers are most trustworthy, I can't help you there. I'm unaware of a reputation system in place here other than word of mouth. I'd imagine your surest bet would be to get one from someone who does a lot of business here, such as one of the honing service guys. Most sellers take paypal, and paypals policy is basically that the buyer is always right, and the seller can go to hell, so I'd imagine you won't have much risk of getting ripped off. Worst case you get a "shave ready" that is less so than you would hope.
