I'm still new to this SR shaving thing and had the classic Dovo round point like everyone suggested. It was fine on all the flat areas of my face but I had a lot of trouble in the nooks and crannies like near my mouth chin and ears and I nearly gave up. Fortunately I saw some stuff on this forum about the Ralf Austs and how you get so much for your money so I decided to give a different blade style a try and bought that 6/8 Spanish point. It made a world of difference. With the point I'm able to shave my entire face not just my cheeks/neck and it added just a little more heft to get through the courser hairs. The Ralf Aust definitely saved me as a SR shaver. The only problem is they make a 7/8 and if a 6/8 was better than a 5/8 it would stand to reason...
I have yet to get a 7/8 razor but may have to one day to see if the added weight does indeed plow through the hair. The 6/8 so far is my favorite size overall.

I would love to pick up another RA for sure. My best shaver is the RA 5/8 with black acrylic scales! That razor keeps a insane edge!
