Thread: 4/8 razors

I think the larger blade users are more vocal about that and maybe that's why it seems to you that not many shavers use 4/8 and smaller razors.

I like smaller width razors so long as they will not bounce across my hair as I shave, they are more maneuverable on my skinny neck than larger razors.

There's a 4/8 wedge in my shaving bag that I really enjoy

I have a few of them and always enjoy using them. I find they shave equally as well as some of my larger 7/8s razors. I think people are in this big razor mindset and want big, big, big so the small ones go by the wayside. That's a pity.

i use a couple of them. like them very much. a fred reynolds, a DePew(my favorite str8), and another i cannot think of right now. all very good, sharp. not touch ups or travel razors, but ones i would use daily.

good luck.

The 4/8 razors are very good IMHO. They are usually of a thicker grind and as a result can handle most beard types. The American made 4/8's such as the "Spike" are easy to hone and take a very good edge.


Just my $.02,
