Any pictures? :tu
Nice!! Congrats.
My rotation is all Ducks and I love the shaves I get from them, but I was working my way up the grits on this just before I came in here to rest my fingers. This is the first of 5 big blades I am dying to try.
1 1/16

If the silhouette in the barbers notch is any indication of how it is going to feel on my face I am in for a treat.
It's not a crack . It's on both sides and looks like it was made at the time of the notch. My notch has a nipple ?

regarding the origanal poste, it is not how big your razor is, it's what you do with it. Oh yeah, it also depends on your facial geometry. My cheeks love the big blade but my neck, not so much
I have from 4/8 to 15/16. I like a 6/8 round hollow. They all shave the same but I will settle on that. I have quite a few spikes but the tip is always muted. Never got used to it, and hazardous on the neck IMO.
Variety is the spice of life. That saying is so true. Its nice to mix it up. I have plenty of razors but my eyes light up when i see a big blade.
Mine, too. Still, experience has proved my eyes to be bigger than my stomach -- translation: those big blades were too big for me to comforably/fearlessly shave my upper lip. As I've written before, I found the best blend of weight, size, and grind to be a 5/8"-6/8" blade size, in a 1/4- to 1/2-hollow grind... with either a French (oblique) or round tip. Photos never lie, so here are two of my favorites, in 11/16" and 6/8", respectively:Quote:

I am a big fan of the French tip...
