    Default Which would you keep?

    If you could keep one (I know keeping both is better
    The 78 1/2 is 5/8, nice gold wash, tiny crack in the scales at the pin. Almost no hone wear, nice tiny bevel.
    The 72 1/2 is 6/8, nice heft and also shaves good. Some hone wear, wider bevel and harder for me on the hones.

    I feel like just keeping one - thoughts?

    Both look like keepers. Do you normally have a preference for 5/8 or 6/8?

    I'd keep whichever one shaves better - gold wash and tiny bevels don't make any difference in getting the whiskers off.

    Either works for me - I like the weight of the 6/8 better, and they both shave really good, maybe just slightly better on the 5/8

    Yeah I think it's more like I'd like to have a Friodur and something else vs two Friodurs

    This might be the type of decision to sit on for a week.

    I'll keep you in mind!


    I've been contemplating it for a while so yeah no sense rushing it now, just thought I'd post to get some opinions.
