If both razors are 5/8, would there be an appreciably difference in the shave produced by either blade? Would the composition of the steel be noticeable in either the shave or blade maintenance? Will the composition handle be any more or less "slippery" than the ebony wood?

Also separately, would 5/8 be appreciably different than 6/8? I've read the posts regarding weight/heft and manuveurability. I was wondering if that 1/8 difference in width was truely noticaceable by a less experienced shaver, or is it a finer tuned nuance really only detectable by the experienced?

Thanks for any input, CH
