Thread: Thick, Wiry Beard = Bigger, Heavier Blade?

My ideas on this issue differs from most here. My answer would be Sharper Not Bigger. Those who say bigger will tell you that Pressure is the Issue. With Bigger you have Weight and like a guillotine the beard will cut itself as it falls. Sorry I don't think so.
Bigger, I believe, was just a Function of holding more lather. You have to remember the time when they were used... No running water, ability to hold lather was an issue.
Check their sharpness.
