Under the nose - does size make a difference?

**leadduck** · 12-09-2010, 12:59 AM

Personally, I do prefer my 4/8 under the nose. Anything larger and I tend to cut off my upper lip. I hate it when that happens.

Actually the size of the nose can make a difference

but anything I can do with a 4/8 I can do with a 5/8. There's no room for an 8/8 under my honker

I've done the coup de maitre with a 4/8 and I've done it with a 10/8 and all of them in between. Haven't cut my upper lip yet..... knocking on wood.

Then again, it depends on the nose, some guys are better off raising a mustache.

Cyrano De Bergerac played by Joseph Fiennes . I should have thought of Durante.

I think Cyrano wins the "Schnozzola" contest

I am with Jimmy, I use everything I have under the nose. A very scant 4/8 to a very large c-mon blackie that is 9/8.

But I don't have a nose like the picture above. Once you learn the stroke under the nose I don't think the blade width will hinder you.
