Should shave the dickens!

Being that it is a 11/16, what difference should I expect from my 5/8 in shaving performance?

For a 1/16 of an inch difference,. about a micron change in angle on the face when shaving. That's my one, one hundredth of a cent opinion.

Not much, as Razorfeld sez. However, Robeson made different grinds. A numbering system will tell you what grinds were recommended for whom!

Looks as though if you have a tough, wiry beard and tender skin, you are set!
Oh! You cannot be a 'nervous' man, though!

Nice catch. Interesting notch but doesn't really kill the apperance. They deliever a great shave.

That's what I thought. Besides, I'm just looking for a good shaver with some character.

Properly honed she will be great.
