Thread: 6/8 or 7/8???

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 ....

But heck, combined with good prep, a road-side hubcap, if it was made by T-I, could probably be keened to shaving satisfaction ....

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.
