Ive never made it to Germany. Maybe they dont have 40's there? Ive never drank one myself. It just got to warm on me. But, back to the Russian blade. Ive been wanting to get one in my collection, but they all seem to be a bit small. 5/8 round point.

Yeah, Jerry is right, of course.
In USA there is something that is sold as beer and comes in 40oz=1182ml bottles
It has very little to do with what is sold as beer in Germany!
Jerry, you should make it to Germany someday, if you can, and I think you would very much like the beers over there!
I don't know if I've ever seen larger soviet blade (I mean not current or custom but the standard mass produced stuff from the past).
With all the legendary problems in the Soviet Union we ought to remember that it was an industrial superpower, so they certainly had excellent steel and could produce excellent quality goods.
Let us know what you think when you hone it up.

The STIZ I have is one of my best razors....phenomenal shaver. While I’ve read on here about variable quality, that is certainly not my experience.

the Bay is full of them. Most look mistreated badly. Maybe I should go look again. I haven't looked in a while. I can use a 5/8 round point, but its so much more fun to use a 6/8 or a touch more. Holds the lather better.
