So...since I started straight shaving almost 4 months ago..I started with my Sheffield 7/8 razor bought from Sham (Hi_Bud) on classifieds..she's been a real smooth shaver..so a few days ago I received my totally restored Solingen razor from Max (Honemeister)..
This was my wife's grandfathers razor for more than 50yrs..anyways (ther is a story in my other posts about this blade)...so I had my 1st shave with it and I must say...yea this razor is a tad under 5/8 but whatta different blade feeling..felt a bit harsher..not in a bad way but not as smooth as my larger Sheffield 7/8 for some reason...wasn't a big deal..knowing this is a family heirloom and will stay for many years to be passed on...but something I definitely noticed and took me a bit longer to go in my passes...stropping the blade was a bit different too as size was much smaller
Anyone else notice differences between a larger and smaller blade also with 2 different countries of origin
