Soon to be up in the rotation in a week or two depending on my mood I present my Kenny Powell Army theme 13/8 in A2 steel. VERY well balanced and easy to shave with. Its the stropping that is difficult. The EJ Barley is there as a size reference.

I've shaved with this and survived:

Glad you survived your own personal civil war of the whiskers.
That's correct, and when I received it from Ebay I was very surprised regarding its size. I bid on it because Otto and Reynders were active only
around the Civil War. Because it was so well-proportioned, I was blown away by how big it was. It is also extremely heavy at 5.7 ounces.
I am not sure why but the huge razors like w&b and these customs are very appealing to my eyes i just love them. and the big thick spine is great. i have only used one 7/8 w&b briefly and it was awesome . i was tolt the big razors are the race cars of the razor 8world..... well it turns out i love going fast lol. i cant wait to be able to buy one. i dont want to gt to much money in a razor colection. right now i have richards & conover 5/8, boker 5/8 and w&b 6/8 , id really like to finish off with a big heavy 8/8 make is not important . but a w&b would be great. they seem kinda pricey though i think ill have to wait tell after my wedding to get one lol unless somebody wants to give me an early gift. lol. oh and about that big otto!!! good thing i dont own it cuz first thing i would do is take it to kelly aka nun2sharp and have him put his magic touch to it and then.............................................. .......... well you all know what comes next, razors are made to shave with and i would have to try it once. few little nicks never hurt anybody. i bet a guy could even set a world record by shaving with the biggest straight razor ever!!!
