I'v been shaving with a straight for nearly three months now, and I've noticed that I keep picking up the same razor.
I've been collecting them whenever I see them cheap. I have six razors now, all old razors that I reconditioned somewhat.
I definitely like a full hollow grind. The razor I like best says 'extra hollow' right on the blade. That razor is probably 5/8.
I'm not nearly experienced enough to say that this is the best razor for me, so should I be looking for something in particular to try.
I've never used a new razor, but I'm not sure that I want to.
Ihave tried a partial wedge, and didn't care for it. I have also tried taller blades and shorter blades.
So, am I missing something I should try?
I'll probably keep picking up razors as I find them anyway, but I could look for something special if there is something I should just try out.
I think I am officially a life long straight shaver. I have no desire to go back.
