Thanked: 4Is this a possibility?
I have been straight razor shaving for about 5 weeks give or take, love it. I have 2 Dovo Solingen ⅝ razors, have only used one so far. Since I have a full beard and mustache, is there a smaller straight edge that I can order? I'm talking about the length from heel to toe (I think
). Seem as though it would be easier and more accurate to manipulate since I am not doing a full shave...Any and all help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanked: 4830many of the fixed or non folding razors are smaller. There are quite a number of smaller folders out there as well. I have a few, I was lead to believe the were intended for women. A sharp blade knows no gender. They are a little tricky when you are just looking at them because the are proportionately smaller.

I have a Duck Dwarf in rotation that is all around smaller. Works great for detail work. I keep a full goatee so my shaving real estate is less then some. Though I use several different size blades, the smaller ones work better for me. Note that my dwarf is noticeably harder to hold though as the dimensions are smaller. Adapt an overcome since the shave is so nice.

I have a "The Real" Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. razor (I suppect it is a corn razor) it is about 5/8" and only 2.25" blade length
something like this or otherwise a traditional or western ground kamisori might be a better option for youSaved,
to shave another day.

Dovo used to make a 3/8 but you might even consider a DE.
