They don't have to be too wide. It is a trend started by US shavers I think. For instance, Swedish shavers prefer smaller blades 3/8,4/8,5/8. The average shaver prefers somewhere between 5/8 and 6/8. I like the 6/8 mostly. They have plenty of steel and are a bit heavier than 5/8. I suppose it had to do with machismo... The old adage “bigger is better†thing. For me the bigger blades are cumbersome in the moustache area and under the jawline (especially xtg). You have to try and see which ones you like best. Also the bigger the blade, the higher the price.
