Thread: Half/Full Hollow flexing, average beard density, stubborn stubble

OK one more time with the details...

I always make the exact same Recommendation for a first razor... and here are the reasons..

One, Stropping there is a actual difference when stropping a 5/8 to 6/8 the 6/8 is way easier for a new guy to keep flat... This is a big deal, Stropping is the most over looked part of this hobby and really one of the most important..

Two, Mass some of the 6/8 sizes jump to the heavier spine size so yes they do have more mass so they actually are easier for a new guy to shave with... Many new guys start with rather tentative shaving styles the extra mass does help, which takes us to the next point.

Three, Half hollow the rather tentative style that a new guy has is greatly served by the extra stiffness of a half hollow, I would recommend a 1/4 hollow but there are even harder to find and way more expensive, I only recommend stuff that is available new and can be purchased anytime...

Four the Round point, what can I say they LOOK safer but honestly they'll cut ya just as fast...

Five, they are pretty much middle of the road, so on your second razor you can easily decide what direction to go next.... Oh yes there will be second razor LMAO

Now you can buy any razor you want, really you can, but those are the actual reasons behind my reommendations...however people have been starting with all different razors for a long time and so can you.... A recommendation is only that a starting point nothing more...

BTW Dovo and TI have these razors..
