Thread: Help for a potential straight shaver!

Yes, what the other guys have said is good advice.
Size of the blade doesn't matter much. You can get good shaves with any size, the thing is, you will not know what size you prefer before you have tried some different ones.
That's why many recommend the 6/8 half hollow as a middle ground of what is out there.
I myself started out with a extra hollow 5/8.
After trying out more razors, I found that my preference was the slightly bgger blades.
But, I used that very 5/8 today, and it is still a very fine shaver.
Tomorrow could very well be a 10/8 wedge That works equally fine for me.
Shaving under the nose with such a big blade is no more difficult than with a 4/8, you just need to get used to it.
Pick one middle ground razor, you will soon be buying more, that is the ime to experiment:
Good luck!
