Need advice on what to look for
Every time I am asked what type of straight razor I am looking for, I feel like an uneducated individual because I am so new to the straight world. I believe all the razors I have are 5/8th's hollow ground or extra hollow ground. My friend suggested maybe trying a larger like a 6/8th's. I am also looking to get a nice razor that will be the pride of the lot. I have a low budget at this time, but I am thinking around $50. What are good characteristics to look for or to even know what may work for you? I am a tough bearded person. My hairs are like steel wool. I think I am rough on edges. I am so looking for some great knowledge. I know I will probably get lots of feedback that it all depends, and such, but I would like to know more then to just stab in the dark. I am told that an H. Boker or Wade and Butcher would be great additions to what I do have.
