ANTIQUE STRAIGHT RAZOR MINI SMALL STRAIGHT RAZOR - eBay (item 120520739436 end time Jan-27-10 13:20:30 PST)

That's a corn razor. You know for the removal of corns on your feet. I have a few in my drawer in the office.

There are small razors out there: Torrey Little Guard, Korn "The Real" (and I think other makers made this same blade), DePew's, mini Robeson's, etc

i gotta take photos of my mk29s one of these days, they certainly look like they may be perfect for that kind of job.

That's the best bit about me liking small razors - I don't have to snipe it out with the chopper lovers if I spot a small one I like the look of. I'm currently using a DE, not a straight (mine are all about ready for a honing, which I can't afford, and I have nowhere to hang my strop in my new place) but when I get back to using and acquiring straights, a De Pews is definitely on my list of ones to add, followed by as many small wedge ground blades as I can get my hands on.
BTW Holli, the Harris Bros wedge you sold me is still my favourite shaver - what progression did you use to hone that puppy? I want to try and get it as sharp as it was when I received it from you when I get my hones in and start resharpening my razors.

Sorry for the tangent guys, I'll try to stay on track from now on.

I can't say for sure, because I've varied up my hones a couble times, but it was probably of my BBW/coti and then a C12k. I'm glad to hear you are still enjoying her.

As much as I like big razors, I do find shaving with smaller ones a nice change of pace. I find that blades at or around 4/8 tend to be half hollow or fuller (I suspect because one would need itty bitty wheels to get a full hollow grind on such a small blade), and the stiffness coupled with the lightness and maneuverability is a very interesting experience to be sure.
