Thread: Pondering your preference

Like many newbs, I became a kamikaze with a hundred missions. The joy of the hunt and cleaning and honing was a delight.
So I've tried most everything since late 1700's.
My face likes 5/8ths to7/8ths plus old Sheffield in the 7/8ths +. Point styles not a problem. I just look and decide how quickly I will shave that morning!

In the beginning of learning to restore and hone, I bought all types of razors down to 4/8. I've restored lots, honed and sold them for the experience and practice. I developed a thing for nothing under 6/8, though I still have a couple. My favorites are ones I have made, customs, and then larger razors. I don't care for a full wedge, but a little hollow to 1/2 hollow with a smile are my favorites. I've honed a few 10/8 for folks, not a real fan as I shave under my nose & I don't care how much you can pull up your nose...a 10/8 will not get in there!
