    That's hilarious, never thought of that so i guess the proud new owner will contact Tony Miller to see about a 6" strop.

    Good point. How do you flip it over the spine on the strop? Answer: you don't. Have to do independent strokes. Cool as hell though.

    Ultimately, that is what it boils down to.

    If a person wants such a razor, then why not do it.

    My 9/8" Snail Forge is actually quite nimble but I'm not sure I'd want to go much bigger.
    I agree. 7/8 to 9/8 is my comfort zone. But i guess it's all about what you are used to. Tge customer is used o and prefers 11/8 and 12/8.

    The customer is always right, as the saying goes. At least you could have a 5 pass shave and not rinse the blade
