I'm with all the above. For me, 6/8 is favorite. 5/8 I have to rinse too much. It's about what works for you...try a couple other sizes, +/- thumb notches & jimps, and see what rocks your world the best.

FYI -- serious necro-post here. OP hasn't been active for nearly 3.5 years!

So far I have only used 5/8". I am excited to try some other sizes just to see how they shave!
Peace!

Why? You were right that you should try one of every size. Originally Posted by JOB15

The only reason that I noticed is that I am a natural nerd and numbers make more sense to me than almost anything else.
With that said, I enjoy everything from 5/8 up to 8/8. 6/8 might be my most favorite with exception of the 8/8 Lewis I own; Charlie does amazing work. Like some other member commented recently, they are practically unicorns these days.--Mark

I have a 2 1/2" PRC Sprite, 1/4 hollow, 6/8. I only shave around my neck below my beard, and it is perfect for my use. I am able to get into tighter places, and I haven't managed to roll the edge or other wise damage good merchandise. I still have the wants, but not the need for one of those 7/8 or 8/8 razors, but that probably speaks to other issues I have...If it shaves, use it. If it doesn't find something that does. This is far from an exact science, but fun to try things out.
