Thread: The 3/8

It’s been a few days since I used my 3/8 razor for the second time. I few observations, it is difficult to tell the angle of the razor to my face because of it’s size especially once a little bit of lather starts to build up. I also noticed that I got some stubble quicker than normal that could be because of the difficult of maintaining the proper angle. My thoughts of it are I will keep this one in my rotation just for the novelty and change of pace but doubt I would actively look for another one in this size, in fact the only reason I had this one was because it came in a group of razors that I purchased.

I haven't even tried a 3/8 and am not sure I am willing to try it.

I really like the ability of bigger (6/8) blades to do one side of my face + neck without wiping, if I feel like it.

And yes - I seem to find better angles with 6/8 easily, while 4/8 can be a bit trickier.

I may experiment with one 3/8 that I have lying around, but I have other work much higher on the list of priorities.

I find a full shave with my 3/8 a little challenging, but it is the best tool for delicate touch-ups and isn't bad for a quick trim around the goatee. For that reason, it stays in my rotation for now.

I have a 3/8 that I use when the beard is not too heavy. It's a neat little razor for zipping around.

I have a 2/8s that's great for the moustache area if I didn't have a moustache, oh well. But its great for trim work. Its just too small for general shaving I have trouble getting a grip on it. 4/8s is the smallest I use for general work.
