Zeiss can actually heal LAD.. Soon or later you will find out that it is difficult to outdo Zeiss. Once I've got couple - I sold all my "L" :D

I'd definitely say try your 4/8ths before you go for a 3/8ths.
Also, where's your wedge dude??
I agree! you should have more variety in grinds, that makes each shave different and interesting!
I cant abide small razors...wish I could.
My grinds and sizes:
Wedge: 8/8 Gilbert, 9/8 Wostenholm IXL, 5/8 W&B
1/4 grind: 5/8 Red Imp
Full Hollow: 6/8 bismark, 6/8 dovo best, 6/8 Boker King Cutter, 5/8 W&B, 5/8 dovo silver steel, 5/8 art deco boker
Extra hollow: 7/8 schulze, 6/8 TI
Looking at my list I realize that I "need" a Half hollow.....hmmm the search continues....
*side note, apparently this is my 100'th post. yay. that is all
No.

Wow. So many replies. I think main points are I need a wedge (dude), I should try the 4/8 before I splurge on the 3/8, I DO need a 3/8 (but after trialling the 4/8), but I also need many grinds.......and I'm feeling the vain illusion that I can control this thing called RAD is just that, an illusion...
I'd say you should at least try your 4/8 before you buy something even smaller.... :)
I decided I'll hone the 4/8 tonight (my son did it a few weeks ago, taught by me, and while he said it was sharp, I was probably a poor teacher, and have some better information now). I was going to wait on using that until I had new scales and it polished a bit; but I think I'll give it a whirl regardless. Maybe I should still get the 5/8 I have my eye on Messer der Woche and look for a hollowish wedge instead of a 3/8?
Sounds like a good plan!
Man so much tempting stuff at Revisors website, if I was in for a 5/8 I'd grab this

I love square points, easier to get to those small hairs around the nose and upper lip.
