Apparently I’d been logged out at some point and didn’t even notice.
What a great conversation though! I only have a 10/8, but I do have my sights set on a 12/8 next. Or maybe another Japanese razor.
I suppose I hadn’t ranked my Roman to my Fili, but as I think about it, I think I do kind of prefer the paddle over the Fili. Undoubtedly, the steel on both are great. I was extremely happy with Roman’s high carbon. They’re both very silky feeling.
I guess what it really comes down to, is the ease in which it moves. Granted, we need no pressure at all, and with a dialed in edge, everything should just glide. The 10/8 though, is comparable in weight to an 8/8 near wedge. So it takes even less than to get it going and keep it going, but with the delicate feel of a full hollow vs the sturdier and silent Near Wedge grind.

Thanks for getting my attention on reddit @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social
Damnit! I was hoping you’d convince me that there’s no need for trying anything bigger 😄
But it makes total sense and shouldn’t surprise me
