    I'm seriously hoping you have started something here: real men use tiny razors, let the bottom fall out of those useless ginormous slabs of Sheffield steel.

    I'm pretty sure my shaving technique is better for having a wide variety of styles at my disposal when I shave. Though I don't use the huge-o-tron blades much -- only the Marsden 'Magnum Bonum' blades are honed of the ones I've got.

    Come on, people! Who's shaving with the SMALLEST razor?

    (I can go smaller than this one if I use the pocket scalpel...)

    At a flea market I once saw a 1/8 spine with scales and an edge... I passed for $5.

    Great write up as always. I think it's hard to reply to this thread with out pointing out the shear awesomeness of the OL Greaves you got there for comparison!

    Thanks for sharing!
    The Mab razor I've got isn't the best steel in the world, and the edge it takes is never quite what I want it to be, so it's really nice to have a genuinely small razor with superb business-parts!

    And yeah, that Greaves is a thing for sure. I need to re-etch the Masonic imagery it used to have, but I've not really had much time for working on razors... Fixing up this little Maw razor only took an hour or two for soup-to-nuts dissassembly, sanding, reassembly and honing.
