Thanked: 13249In the Wiki yer going to find a recommendation for a first razor:
Size 6/8 = Because it is dead center in the size range, you can then decide which direction to go on your second razor, it is a bit easier to strop for a beginner because of the width of the blade and the size of the tang...
1/2 Hollow Grind - Because it is dead center in the grinds, because it is just a touch more forgiving than a full hollow for a beginner...
Round point = Because it gives the illusion of being a bit safer than the other points
SHAVE READY from a VERY Reputable Honemeister = Because if you question the sharpness before you even start you are going to be off to a rough road...
These are just recommendations and these types of razors are readily available NEW and USED....
To answer your direct question what impact it has to the shave???? Very little
The impact is in how you handle the razorLast edited by gssixgun; 10-24-2010 at 02:25 PM.
