You've correctly identified your desire, you're looking for your next razor, not your other razor.
I'm going to assume your avatar is your current solo and that it's a wedge Depew and not a full hollow. For that reason I say don't get either of them. That Inox is very similar to what you've got going on already and I'd be looking to broaden my horizons if I were you. Sure that, 5/8 Silver Steel is a pretty sweet razor man, I was eyeing that one for long time myself. Truth is though, 5/8 full hollow grounds are like rice in China and $80 would be a bit steep for my next unless I was REAL horny for that particular razor. If you really want a 5/8, I'd say get one from a member.
Of course a wedge like that 4/8 Inox would probably work better for you than the full hollow and although it would likely be more challenging to hone, it would also hold that edge for a longer while being both a wedge and SS.
I'd also say, listen to some of the other advice here and lean toward a larger blade. If you can't do that now, keep it in mind for your third or so.
Anyway, that's my 2¢, but as they say in Serbia ... To each his own.

Ha ha funny X:rolleyes: Actually the reason they use that expression is because it rhymes in Serbian. Hoever, if I were you, I'd forget all about Slavic languages, and focus on Spanish :D
The sequel also rhymes: 100 zena, 200 sisa. Ilija will translate it ;)Quote:

As they say sharp is sharp so you can get an equally great shave from a 4/8 as with an 8/8s. Size and things like scale material and blade decorations are just icing on the cake. remember a chevy will get you where you want to go as quickly and as comfortably as a mercedes benz.
