I'd say get one of the 5/8 or 6/8 full hollows from one of the members here. The wedges are tough to get an edge once it goes away. Also, with something to big (7/8+) or too small (4/8-) stropping and honing can be a little more challenging. I'd also say go for carbon steel. Sheffield ranks highest for most, but that doesn't mean you have to go that way. there are many outstanding Solingen razors, Eskeltunas and more.
