Lemy, how do you like the shorter blade length in a PRC razor? I have often wondered since they use the wider bar stock. Post a picture of that little beauty!

The shorter blade works well for my short shaves, i promise to post a picture soon. Thanks,

i will keep working on taking sharp straight razor pics

Hi, I have been shaving for only a few months with a 5/8 full hollow and found it a bit light for my liking. Thus, would like hear from people that had tried PRC Sprite razor on whether the sprite razor feels heavier than a standard length 5/8 full hollow razor despite it being a shorty. I am interested in getting the sprite shorty razor since I felt that the shorter blade length will be easier for me to handle. Thank you

I have the Hart Shorty which is very similar to the PRC Sprite and it handles like a 5/8 full hollow but has just a little more mass. Fun to shave with. Need to be careful on the strop though as it takes a little more concentration just like a short blade Kamisori.
