Hello all,

I'm noticing that the larger blades ( 7/8 ) and larger are in much greater demand as indicated by price and bidding activity on e-bay. I'm just starting out in restoration and would like get some input from some experienced straight shavers. Are they superior shavers, cooler lookers, easier to hone, or a combination of some of these reasons? I have only shaved with 4/4-5/8ths so far. I also seem to only to wind up with these same size razors with my po-mans budget bidding on e-bay. Please help me to better understand the attraction and possible profitability ( I hope that's a word ) in shaving and restoring these bigger razors. Thanks in advance. Don.
