Dang Wullie! What blade is that?
I have a saying......."compensating on a budget" :p
Seriously, I lean toward larger blades myself, but for a beginner, I think a 5/8 to 6/8 is best and probably a round point in a stiffer grind.
4/8 razors shave (and cut) just as well as 8/8 and can be just as tricky to use IMHO.
Just as a side note, I read somewhere else on SRP that historically the most frequently produced razor width was 5/8, followed by 6/8.
