Pics!! Come on...

I have a 9/16 vintage Wacker from the 30s or so. It is a hollow ground French point and it is awesome. Dont knock the small blades or even begin to consider throwing them in the bin! (Unless they are knackered beyond repair). My favourite sizes are 9/16-13/16. I dont know why most people seem to prefer the 7/8s and larger blades. I find them annoying as they get in the way. I find their high prices annoying too!

Bottom line - hone one up and try it. Its definitely worth it and you get to try another sized razor. If anything, its experience.
