Thread: I purchased the biggest, widest antique wedge I've ever seen. Razor 1 & 5/16 wide

This one is going to give you some interesting times when shaving. I'm trying to figure out how you will shave around the nose area.

Starting at the middle; Left to right and back again, XTG style yo.

All I can say is I want one.......

Screw eBay rules, strongest man survives, and you won.... Congrats..

The seller contacted me to let me know he was getting a lot of angry messages for pulling the auction and got other offers. My offer was still the best one he recieved though.

Oh well, if they come looking for you at least hopefully you'll have recieved your weapon :-)

Exactly. Same when I sell stuff. First one with the cash gets the prize.

I just received this bad boy in the mail. It's better than I expected. The measurements are correct! The patina near the edge wiped off quickly with a lot of the other junk with a quick app of mothers. Folks, this razor has not been out of use for long. The bevel is mirrored and the blade is sharp. It's not shave ready but it's not going to take much to get it that way. I think I'll drop down to a 4k and take it from there. It's not a true wedge. It is slightly hollowed. Which is fine with me. The scales are bug bitten and intact. I'm going to get them replaced when Walt's (dirtychrome) work load eases up, but until then...they are fully functional.

The coffin is also enormous. It is literally twice the size of an average coffin.

So excited.

Very cool, let's see some pics when you get a chance!!
again, crongrats on the awesome buy!

The coffin is as wide as my blackberry bold. I'll add some more pics in a bit.

man do i love that blade, it is a little bigger than my largest one, and its 1 and 1/4 took me a little time to get a nick out of the edge, but man that thing shaves BEAUTIFULLY, i have to be very careful when i shave my head with it, it likes to pull a move from the old indian days, and it wants to scalp me.
