Thanked: 13246As the owner of a well trimmed full beard, I can only tell you what I have found to be the best for me....
For trimming, straightening, and that pesky multi directional neck hair, my favorite razor is a
11/16 Extreme Hollow grind Spike point, anything from 4/8 to 6/8 works fine, but I target the 11/16 size.
I really have maybe one or two under 5/8, and about 5-6 at the 6/8 size, the other 60 or so are all 5/8 or 11/16...
I have maybe 5 that are over 6/8 but those are mostly customs and just special razors...
Give me an American or Solingen with those specs and I am a happy man
For info, I have honed dozens of the TI Le dandy razors and every one has been a good shaver, I personally haven't seen the TI scale problems on the Le dandy...Last edited by gssixgun; 07-08-2010 at 11:48 PM.

Le Dandy
is a great shaver and takes excellent edge. i have never had any problem with any of them .
i have seen handle problems some of them had. it was bending etc because of their age.
hope this helps

I'd expect that like their other razors the 4/8 is fair amount larger, so at least 9/16 actual width may be even 5/8. My LeDandies have been the 5/8 and 6/8 varieties.

Thanked: 1160Thanks all y'all !!!.............Wow,we are not short on info here. Still have'nt made a decision yet,although now to throw a wrench in the works I am thinking about goin with a Dovo special. Since I don't have alot of dough. It may be the more economical thing for me to do . I've heard some good things bout'em. Aaagh decisions. Wish I had a table of razors to choose from and try. I don't have alot of cash to pick n choose as so not alot of experience with brands. I'll get through this somehow haha ! Thanks for the help though seriously .
