Other than "men love big blades" and other testosterone related reasons.

At the moment, I use a Dubl Duck dwarf (that must be 4/8) and a Double Arrow (6/8) and to be honest I prefer to shave with the DA. Even if the Dubl Duck is obviously better in quality and in materials, I more often go for the DA, so it must be the size, only reason I see.

I plan to get a 5/8 soon, but I'm too broke to afford trying a lot and a lot of different razors so I ask you guys: What are the pros and the cons of a wider blade?

Thinner blade offer more control but feel too light to me. So wider blades offer...?
