    Default where can i get a 4/8 razor

    I have two 4/8 razors they are vintage, and i also have a dovo 5/8, i really like the 4/8 because i find them easy to use, and accurate. I have noticed that razors are normally 5/8 or higher, i don't like them as much, there wide and i have trouble shaving around the upper lip. So would any of you know a razor name with a 4/8 or lower blade, or a website that i could find such a razor.

    Dovo makes them. Try SRD and Classic Shaving. Best Regards, wildhog

    wester bros. little de-fi, if you can find them they are great little razors. I have one and now search ebay and antique stores for them, and dovo did put out a 3/8 or 4/8 razor not to long ago..within the past three years it was the jubilaum I believe. I have two 4/8 razors and I like them as well.

    I have several vintage 4/8 size razors; my favorites are a Heljestrand 24 and a Le Grelot P-Hospital.

    For new razors:

    Revisor has 28 different models of 4/8 razors.
    4/8

    Classic Razors also carry the new Thiers-Issard 4/8 "Le Dandy."
    Thiers-Issard Straight Razors

    Good luck on your search.

    EDIT: a great 4/8 Genco is on sale in SRP Classifieds.

    As you can see there are plenty of 4/8 razors out there. Heck I have a bunch as well. I would say pick your poison, then place a WTB or check the classifieds.
