Are big blades good shavers? Do they have good steel?

Some are good, some are great, and some are less so. Totally depends on who made them, how well they are honed, etc.

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Big blades shave just as good as smaller shavers - they're just cooler and more fun to play with Originally Posted by proximus26
