Agreed - as my preference is developing more and more after a year, I find myself enjoying the 5/8th and 4/8th razors I have more and more...next step is to get used to the DD Satin Wedge...for me, the wedge is a new experience!

Thanked: 146The only reason I prefer a wider blade (6/8, 13/16) is because you don't have to rinse as often. They hold more lather so the shave goes alot quicker for me. That being said, sharp is sharp and a great edge can't be beat!

There is a reason big heavy blades almost disappeared once the 5/8s hollow became pretty much standard in the industry.
To me a razor is an instrument and it should become almost an extension of your hand. Big heavy blades or unbalanced ones don't meet that standard for me.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

I have 4/8, 5/8, 6/8 and 7/8. I like the 5/8 best followed by the 4/8.
