Congratulations on a one of a kind acquisition.

Yup that belonged to André

Not used to seeing anything at that age that even approaches that size. Very interesting, thank you sharing.

I can pretty easily talk myself into believing that a certain class of these Brobdingnagian razors were, in fact, made for custom for very tall men.

But there's also the tradition of calling extra large razors 'Dutch' something or other... So it may have just been a style thing.

That said, the stamp in the middle of the blade on this one makes me think it's earlier than later.

So how does it shave

Good question

Need to do some work on it before that's possible. It's a bit in the backlog.

I had almost forgotten about this post. Please keep us updated on your progress. At least I can salivate vicariously.
