Thread: At The Barbershop

I always try to be light with the straight when shaving because there is always some skin irritation at the end of every shave. But one click lighter to what I routinely use, and I will not cut the hair.
My impression is that full hollows and especially 5/8ths are too light and need hand pressure to do the work. While, wedge, or near wedge blades, especially 6/8ths and larger, are heavier and can cut the hair with extremely light hand pressure (not pressure, guidance).

So, my opinion is that blade type and especially blade weight matters.
For me, full hollows are less smooth razors than non-full hollows.
