Cool
I'm glad I looked here. I'm buying my a 6/8 Dovo from www.thewellshavedgentlemen.com . Big blades are cool.

I'm gonna be moving up from a 4/8-13/16 rotation to a 9/8 blade.. Now THAT's gonna be a jump lol. There shouldn't be any difficulties, just remember to adjust the spine lift for a proper angle.

10/16= 5/8
12/16= 6/8
Some razors in the old days were not really made to a particular standard, so might fall in between. Also, after a nick or two, or some really aggressive honing, a 6/8 can turn into an 11/16.
