First Shave with Meat Chopper
Well honed up my W&B barbers only meat chopper last night and since I have never shaved with a large blade figured I would give it a try. Actually enjoyed the shave after getting used to the heft. Since I have large hands it actually felt comfortable in my hands. The one thing I like is that you always know where the blade is.
Just thought I would share.

The thing i like about a larger blade is how the weight of the razor seems to do all the work. Not used an 8/8" yet though & there's an awful lot of steel in a W&B!

Was part of a 16 razor lot I bought on ebay for about $100 incl. shipping. So that comes to about $6.25 a razor. Refer to this link for more info http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...dex-today.html Originally Posted by KristofferBodvin
