So I have been really struggling with a new Hart that I got. I found that I was nicking myself FAR more than my Dovo. Especially on the neck - not at all on the flatness of my cheeks. Well something occurred to me tonight as I was shaving with a third razor.

See the Hart is a weighty 7/8. The Dovo is a 6/8. And the one I got for learning to hone is narrower yet (5/8 I think). Well I found that I could REALLY control the angle so much more with the 5/8 than I could the Hart! I'm wondering if the width of the blade has alot to do with my nicking myself so much with the Hart.

Thoughts?
