I'm a larger sized guy at about 6'2" with big enough mitts but fail to see the attraction to large blades. I have one 8/8 Puma that feels like I am using a spatula to shave with. Not unpleasant but not handy either. If I want more weight in a razor I'll take a 5/8-6/8 near wedge. I found that I like a razor with deeper and wider tang for easy stropping and can have that w/o going to very large sized razors. The sweet spot for me is 6/8 give or take a size up or down. I'll use any grind that has a good edge and be happy. Each to their own.
