Thread: Very Large Razors

I've now gathered a few of these. It started with a razor that had been ground short but seemed large in general. Then I picked up a trio that looked normal in the auction pictures, but turned out to be much larger (this was a set of razors from George Palmer in London, early 1800s). Finally I got a razor in really poor shape that needed lots of TLC, the Ellis & Allen. Here they are all together, with a 17/16 Wade & Butcher FBU for a sense of scale. I'm not sure why these razors were made to the size that they were.
