Count me in that group as well! More than 35 straights and 9-10 vintage Gillette DE's. RADs not so bad as long as you pace yourself LOL

All good answers, thanks everyone for sharing.

7/8 or larger, square / spike point as well....and hopefully Sheffield steel as well......;)

I got a couple more than 17...over and over...Ha

And... ive been using some near wedges lately. Get good shaves from them. 7/8 and 15/16. I dont think they will replace my hollow blades as my favorites but its nice to change up now and then.

Could't possibly divulge that information. Would only drive the price up...

I have tried them all but if pushed into a corner it would be a pre WW2 Solingen or post WW2 New York 5/8 full hollow round point.
