I'm looking for my next razor, a TI, I hope. I was thinking about a 6/8 (I don't own any). But then I saw the prices on 7/8. It would seem that a 7/8 might shave even better than a 6/8. I have a very thick beard and would like to try something more hefty. Comments please....

Pretty much personal preferance .... You'll probably find greater selection (lower $$) among the 6/8s. If you shave every day, a 6/8 ought to do it. The 7/8s are good for heavy beards if you only shave a few times, or once a week. Also, T-Is leave the factory a little over-sized ....Quote:

Thanx David,
So a 5/8 TI might weigh more than a 5/8 Dovo? I shave everyday. Getting them sharp is a breeze (never thought I would say that outloud). I'll look at the TI 6/8s for a while....thanx

I shave every day and I like the 7/8's best. I agree it is a personal preference. 8)

My 7/8's T-I is my favorite razor of the 4 I now have in my stable of razors. It is used in rotation so about once every 8 days.

I shave every day and have tough whiskers,personally I like 6/8's & 7/8's but heck 8/8's are good too. One cannot have to many razors, it's all about choice.
Can someone point me to a place where I can read up on the meaning of these widths, and so forth? Thanks.

Basically, it is the width (in inches) from the top of the spine to the cutting edge.
Depending on the razor, it can also be from the top of the grind to the blade edge. Some razors have extra large spines, and you can run into what is listed as a 5/8 razor that is 5/8 from the top of the grind, but a full 6/8 from the top of the spine. You see this most often from razors with fancy diamond shaped spines.
