I was going to make this all Gold Dollar week but decided to make it a week for the unloved razors that aren't stored among the general straight razor population.
Without further ado:
Shumate's Barber 3/8 with HC&C Emperor Oud

@JD55
I'm just curious, how would you compare the 3/8 in use against bigger razors, like 5/8 and 6/8?
I know it has to shave great if it has a good edge, but i'd like your impressions about the weight difference, ease (or lack of it) of use, etc. comared to bigger specimens.

Exceptional shave from this Takami Fujikoshi shiro, forged by Amano-san.

I like a 6/8 best probably but one can adjust quickly with something sharp and be off to the races. I think for shaving under the nose is probably when the little guys earn their keep.

I've managed to acquire some razors that I wouldn't have purchased otherwise because they came with a razor lot purchase. A good shave can be had with any of them though. With all of that said.. A big Sheffield wedge is a noticeable difference in weight and plows hair out of the way with little effort.

Good info, thanks!
