Thread: question about shaving with 3/8 razor

I love the smaller razors, but to be honest I don't go below 15mm in blade width. I have arthritis and the smaller lighter razors work very well for me. I should mention that I shave primarily with Swedish made razors. I certainly understand why many don't care for the smaller blade, good ergonomics is essential to achieve a nice shave and not very hand fits a small light razor. It is worth giving it a try.

I have a few small razors but the smallest is a Filly #10 Inox and at 12 mm would be the smallest I would want to shave with. As stated earlier this razor is the definition of nimble and takes a steady hand, weather shaving, stropping or honing.
I use it mostly for cutting hair or full face exfoliation.

My 3/8 grelot has been giving me wonderful shaves when I use it. It has jimps on it so it is easy to hold just I have to take time when stropping it, very nice razor though.

I got a 3/8 loaned to me by a member here to try out. I found it took a bit more effort to strop being so small. But the shaves went just fine. Having thin fingers probably made this an easier thing for me to use. It was a Fili. Very kind of Outback to loan me. I now have a 4/8 that is very hollow and will try to make it into a 3/8 some day. If i ever get the honey-do list knocked down a bit. This was thanks to Addison. Another person that gave and didnt ask for anything in return.

A fine bunch of guys on this forum. Cant wait till someday i can help out someone myself. Besides giving bad advice. Ha.

So just to be sure... thanks to @Outback and to @Addison.
