I'm pretty new at this but looking to pick up another razor. I'm currently shaving with a 5/8, half hollow REX razor. I've got a 7/8 Böker "The Celebrated", but I'm having a little trouble with it. Not sure if it's the size or the full hollow grind, but I'm doing much better with the REX right now. I'm thinking of trying out a 6/8. I've been eying a full hollow 6/8 Le Grelot from Vintage Blades or Classic Shaving or the half hollow 6/8 TI Super Gnome from Classic Shaving.

I've heard that quarter and half hollow grinds are more forgiving and thus might be better for a newbie. The Le Grelot looks like a nicer razor, but it's hard for a newbie to tell.

I know, it's a bit of a personal choice and YMMV, but I just thought I'd throw it out there for opinions.

Thanks.
