    Durante's grandfather ?

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.

    I think it's more a question of your technique and your nose. I can use an 8/8 to shave under my nose, but (I like to think) my shave technique is pretty good. I have a longish nose, but it goes straight out.

    A smaller blade helps you get to your normal shaving angle at a point on your face closer to your nose than would be possible with a larger blade.

    Size of blade makes no difference for me...what I tend to do though is to push my nose to the left and shave the right side (under nose) and do the opposite. Works great and it's one way to make sure skin is taught and pulled.
