So..... yeah, I got a little carried away...
After this, I swear I'm going on a diet of 6/8s for a while.
This is a 9/8, which is the biggest razor I've made so far. I had intended for it to be an 8/8, but it turned out that I didn't have to remove the extra width that I sometimes leave on as a safety margin, so here it is.
I wanted to throw something in the photos for scale, and when I found this cute little 4/4 blade I couldn't resist.
Blade is O1, scales are olivewood, and the wedge is black buffalo horn.

Awesome!
That blade makes the 4/8 look tiny. Its like comparing an axe and a pocket knife...!
Beautiful razor, great job!

That's beautiful! What a chunk of steel! Did you allow enough room on the shank to get both hands on it?
I check SRD for your blades periodically, but either I'm too slow, or they're not getting them right now.

Josh, that looks great! The Olive gives that awesome blade an extra boost.
What size wheel did you grind the bevels on?
