Thread: Thickness and Width

Edit: Should I be thinking about grind? Don't you lay tape across the back and that will be your angle when sharp? (I don't plan to sharpen myself in the next year or so)

Not sure about the lefty thing when shaving other side. Maybe I will try with the DE...

Just kidding, but not really, they do hold more cream, but I shave half my face and switch sides so it does not matter.

The little bit more weight of the blade may be a bit easier to learn on, it is much more personal preference, than anything else. I think grind may matter more than blade size.
