v76,

Interesting...I would think that the smaller size and less weight of a 5/8" would provide a shaver with more control, not a 6/8" or 7/8". Why and/or how is that?

My reason for asking is that I am considering purchasing a 6/8" str8 razor at some point in the future.

Thanks in advance for your response to my query.
