    The grind (or the size) won't make such a big difference.
    The fact that it is a good razor (e.g. Dovo in this case) and shave ready are the most important factors.

    Anything from 9/16 to 13/16 (e.g. 5/8 in this case) is a good starter size.
    Half hollow or hollow or full hollow are all fine grinds for a starter razor.

    My personal preference would go to the half-hollow.

    Again, make sure that the razor is honed by a well know honemeister (see the services section of the classifieds or read/ask the forums.
