No different than with anything else. General recommendations are to get the average person competent as easily as possible. Of course some are slower and need easier and some are faster and can go with what they like. Once you gain some experience you will go with works best for you anyway.

If you were learning to drive would you rather start with an intermediate car with auto tranny or a kenworth Tractor with multispeed manual tranny? I know guys who would rather start with the kenworth.

Well one person asked and I have only been str8 shaving about 2 months. I started out with a 5/8 hollow grind and now that others have mentioned it I did notice it is not as forgiving as my larger blade which I believe is closer to a wedge then hollow. I do not find it any harder to shave under my nose with my 7/8 no more then my 4/8 or 5/8. I think starting out with the hollow grind though may have forced me to get the technique down quicker as it is not a forgiving razor.
