A 20/8 is a little too large for me to get under my nose comfortably but it is a beautiful piece of work.

I'd consider buying it just to send it out to one of you guys to hone!

That's a true antique and not for most of us. It's for a serious collector type.

16k, imo way too much, its a nice humongous razor, but art is the eye of the beholder. even if i was a billionaire, I'd rather spend the money to modificate my shave den. but that's just imo

apologies in advance for being snarky, but you also wasted your youth not reading Lewis Carroll.

I would have a hard time fitting that into my shaving kit, and a nick with that thing would be losing an ear!

There's a chip on the blade. I'd only go up to $15000 on it

Beat me to it.

$1000 to hone out the nick...where does the hone wear end up? Need to make a sacrificial spine!

I wonder if it's actually hardened and tempered properly.
