As an amateur, that is my approach. I'm 57cm and I have a 6-inch 56cm block and a smaller 4-inch 54cm block (both 52 block style). I use the smaller block to more easily twist and turn hats to work out old creases and dents.
I am considering getting a block for reshaping and getting out old creases. I don't intend to fully tear down the hats to do this though. Since I am a 7 1/2 would you recommend a 7 3/8 or smaller block for this purpose? Or another tool? I also am considering a a flange or two, are the 3d printed ones ok for occasional rookie use? Thanks guys!
