    You haven't told us where you are - maybe you could edit your profile to reflect this.

    One easy way to experiment is to meet up a local member who may let you try various grinds and sizes to let you see how you like them.

    I just lent a 7/8 full hollow to a local member and he found it very different to use - but liked the shave
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...

    Do you guys think the x-thick grind TI will be a lot different than a Wacker or Hart? I'm kind of leaning towards getting two different razors, but would like them to be a bit different.

    I also updated my location info.

    Thanks for the help.

    My recommendation is to go with the Hart. Whether you get the 6/8 or 7/8, you'll see what a heavier grind it like, and they are great razors and fantastic shavers. Then, if your budget allows, go for the TI. They also are incredible shavers. Good luck.

    I ended up getting a TI Spartacus with an x-thick grind and a Hart Not a Replica. I'll let you know how they shave when I get them.

    Has anyone gotten a Hart Not a Replica? Will I need to have it honed, or is the Hart factory hone pretty much shave ready?

    Thanks for the help everyone.

    Assume it will need to be honed and be surprised if it doesn't.

    My Hart needed honing but it was pretty close out of the box.
