buy a good classic razor and refurbish it! giving life to older razors is a good thing... at least Martha Stewart might say that.

Re-reading the OP's post it seems maybe you were confused about the /8 designation? I'm sure you've figured this out, but it is simply the width of the razor's blade in eighths of an inch. So a 4/8 razor 4 eights on an inch, or 1/2 inch wide, and a 6/8 razor is 6 eighths or 3/4 inch wide.
For real? I'm not even going to ask how you know! Originally Posted by cjglancy

I would think a wire brush like that would dull the edge pretty quick.. Originally Posted by cjglancy
