    Default Wanted to try a large blade--So i got this

    I wanted to shave with a large blade as my largest is my Dovo Bismarck which is a 6/8.

    Got this naked blade from a member online and fixed blue Acrylic Perspex scales for it.

    It is a 15/16 Reno solingen blade and is close to 8/8 as that is what i wanted to try.

    And man this is coolll.

    Really enjoyed having this weight in my hands and wow did it give me a wonderful shave for Christmas.

    One pass and almost bbs.

    The only thing is that i have a condition which doesn't allow my neck to move up and down as it used to so moving this beast under my neck was something a little delicate.

    But this is one of my go to blades for now.

    No, this was not my first, I have done a few now.

    My first was a little pathetic but with practice I have gotten better at it.

    Hey that blade looks familiar from another place... Haha nice blade... Now I gotta rescale my 6/8 and give it a try.. You should try a 8/8 wedge... It's like shaving with a soup spoon
