Thread: Looking for a bigger blade... thoughts on this?

Spikes/square points are fine as long as you remember to pay careful attention to what is going on at that end of the blade. Trust me on that!!

Celluloid or faux tortoise.

Yes, it is a spike point.

That is the price to pay to the spike! :-)

BTW What size blade do you think this is? 6/8?

Sorry but I really don't want to hazard a guess at that as I personally find it really hard to judge from photos. I *suspect* you're in the ballpark with that estimate though.

It doesn't tell. However if you compare the height of the blade to the scales, I am afraid it is a 5/8 or 11/16.

I asked the seller a few minutes ago when i posted this, but no response yet.

I see the auction is over and the razor was sold. Did you win it?

Yes! Thank you both for the quick info on it. I was the only bidder, and think it was a pretty good deal... Although that was my first ebay razor purchase, and I was pretty nervous.
