    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!

    The 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.

    I have 4/8, 5/8, 6/8 and 7/8. I like the 5/8 best followed by the 4/8.
    A man should only look in the mirror when he shaves.
