I was wondering what size blade is preferred. I sometimes come across 3/8 and 4/8 blades during my market searches and usually pass on these. I certainly prefer at least 5/8 with 6 or 7/8 being my favorites thus far. I know from previous posts that a shorter blade is preferred but I don't recall seeing width.

I would hate to be passing these smaller blades up, when they could be used by our shaving sisters. Of course some men may prefer the smaller blades as well. I have 4/8 that is a good shaver but I don't feel as comfortable with it as my larger blades.

Just curious.
