    Are 3/8" razors used for detail work around the ears and neck after a haircut, or are these the razors of choice for some people?

    What I find is that the smaller razors place more stress on your hands while shaving and the larger ones are more comfortable.

    From what I have read the 3/8" blade is for detail work. The whole razor is scaled down. While not a "manly" looking razor it shaves quite well. The only difference I've noticed is my fingers sit further up the spine but it is not uncomfortable for me.

    Default 3/8" razors

    The cute little blades in a new Gillette Hydro-machomatic 12 or whatever they're selling now, are what -- maybe 1/16" wide? We only shave with a tiny edge anyway.

    That is incredible good fortune for you. I am in agreement that a sound _$$ kissing of your barber is in order.

    Now thats a great score! Hope you enjoy 'em! The "Old Rock" coticule will be a really sweet hone, they're great stones.

    Yep, you'll have to get your barber a bottle of something at Christmas for that lot..!

    I had the pleasure of meeting woodchuck at the recent Michigan get together plus I got a look at all of this stuff "up close and personal". Nice!! That coti and the Fili really caught my eye, but it's all good stuff. Well done, woodchuck.
