Thread: barba dura, wider blade?

Barba dura or heavy beard in Spanish, I shave with anything I can get my hands on, 4/8, 5/8 even 3/8 razors, but any razor from 6/8 to 8/8 will make my shave a lot easier or it seems like it. The half or quarter hollow are my choice, because they do not sing, I prefere the fat lady to sing than my razor. Round point is easier for me to maneuver around the ears and corners of the mouth. Perfect choice, 7/8, round point, quarter hollow, carbon steel, wide spine, the more meat on the blade the better i like it. What is your perfect choice? Juan

I like 13/16 -7/8 square points, they have a nice heft to them,and i like the way they handle. It can be a wedge or a full hollow,makes no diff to me.

8/8 wedge with smile with barbers notch , cast steal , they shave like your in a dream.

i have two 5/8 " and one 4/8".

And i can definitely feel that I long for a wider blade, then again, I have already spent enough money on razors. maybe in a few years I'll acquire one.

Count me tward the heavy duty blades, 6/8+ Near wedge is my average blade with a few quarter hollows tossed in.

So far I have only 3 hollow grinds I'm keeping for sure, my SRP TI plus my two heirloom razors, henkels 4/8 and Shumate 5/8. Other than that, I'll have to see the Robison group I have is kind of nice and almost heavy enough... And my DD Goldedge just looks nice

Yes I have a RAD problem
