Shaving with a Large Blade
I shaved this morning with the razor described in this thread:

For the Newbies who are concerned about shaving with razors larger than 5/8, my
shave today showed me that, as long one is careful, there is nothing to worry about.
I approached the shave with far more care than I usually do, but I was rewarded with
a fine shave without razor burns or nicks. Even under the nose, the razor performed
wonderfully.
Disclaimer: I am NOT suggesting that Newbies start with an 11/8 razor, but getting to
the point of shaving with one is less a problem than I had thought.
