All AOS SRs are Thiers-Issard, carbon steel, round point, hollow (appears to be full) and 5/8 (appears as such, haven't made a detailed measurement).
Question is: is it worth getting the AOS razor given the substantial (50% or more) discount I can get, or should I go with something from SRD or similar?
Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to getting into the 'sport.'
