I would suggest one of Dovos less expensive 5/8 or 6/8 round point to start with. I have found out over time that the angle of the blade plus the sharpness makes the difference in good or bad shaves and the only difference the grind makes is that the 1/4 to 1/2 hollow doesn't give that much feed back. Starting out it's hard to get the right angle of blade to face. if the angle is right then the shave is easy. After you get experience in shaving with the straight you'll probably add to your collection of razors of all sizes and grinds. I now have from a 8/8 wedge to a 5/8 extra hollow and get a good shave from them all. It's all about the angle and sharpness. also the 5/8 dovo is less expensive to start with and gives more money for strop and other things you'll need. Soap brush things like this. Anyway that's just my opinion and we all have one of those. I would also suggest to watch all the shaving with straight razor videos you can and pay close attention to the angle they use. very informative. Oh and welcome to straights.
