    Actually, I feel fine. I don't need to wear some pansy-ass'd back belt to roll a tractor tire out of my way (and when I was power lifting I knew how to wear one the right way around but still chose not to wear one at all) so looking at guys who use more steroids than deodorant has no effect on my ego, or anything else, at all.

    My vote....3/8 is too small. way too small.

    4/8 is the lowest I got, because it's already so bloody light.

    Stick with the 5/8's and 6/8's. That's the stuff.

    Well where were you when I was driving home at midnight a while back and found this in the middle of the road? SOB weighed in at over 800lbs (from the spec sheet. I looked it up the next day) and took a little effort to move.

    Before you look at getting a 3/8th have a look at this: http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...oat-razor.html

    Might be an option

    My first time with a 8/8 was rather awkward, scales in the way everywhere , and a HUGE blade ready to cut my ears and nose off if I didn't pay attention.
    Now that I got used to it it's second nature, and I love how effective a huge blade is, and you don't have to wipe/rinse constantly like with a small one.
    I'd say you should give a 6/8 a chance!

    Look at these beauties:
