Hello all I hail from Canada, spring is here and I want to forge myself a straight razor!!! Yikes, talk about taking on a project.
So to this end to get started I would like to ask your opinion on dimensions . I think something in the ballpark of 5/8ths-6/8ths. What I would like to ask is a 3" blade and a total length of blade and 6" total length, blade tang+tail.
What would be your ideal sort of razor, beginner shaver considered.

I will start with this and figure grind and such one I have some dimensions.
