what razor width is best for newbie or lifetime shaver
This is a great thread and making some great points. When I got started I read lynn's DVD. I've come to the conclustion that it is personal preference, based on your beard type and style of shaving.
My current favorite is a 5/8 1/4 hollow... I have found myself collecting enough razors that I am begining to be able to try differnt razor blade widths.. I am interested in determining which blades I prefer.
I have a best friend who is even selling anything that is not 7/8 round point. I want to try them all and then decide which I like best.
I'll admitt my first was a square point and I punctured myself a few times and then chipped it in the sink.. not watching and rinsing.. wouldn't have happened with a round point!! But... not likely to happen now anyway... since I've learned how to shave properly!
Nice post!
