the one I like best is a 7/8 1/4 grind. shaves good. the other is a 6/8 full hollow and it shaves good. the 7/8 is a barber point and the 6/8 is round point. like I said it probably is me I guess I need to keep at it and get a transfusion. I think next time I use it i'll wait 4 days and see if that helps. I do like the heaver blades one of my ducks is a 7/8 round point and I like it. I got into straights heavy so I have a few to ck out.
