How the heck do you see your face in the mirror when you shave with that snowshovel?

Lovely razor Sham. Here is a big un .
Edit; I just shaved with it this morning. Second time since I've had it. I didn't have to hone it as it came from a forum member lightly used and was shave ready. Sixty laps on the SRD webbed fabric followed by another 60 on the premium leather I got a 2 pass bbs as slick as I've ever gotten from any I've ever shaved with. That Joe Chandler fellow knows how to make a razor.Last edited by JimmyHAD; 05-12-2009 at 04:25 PM.

Man I love these. I was just thinking of posting this same exact thread last night...
On an aside, what's the biggest USABLE straight you've ever heard of? Anything bigger than 10/8? (By usable, I mean NOT that 2 foot or whatever barber's sign that someone posted a while back...)
Oh, and my only contender, a 15/16 Cornetta, currently in restoration.

My largest is a 9/8+ Belgian full hollow. The other razor in the pic is a 5/8 Lakeside Cutlery.

Man, i feel inadequate! I've got the 7/8 Friodur. I feel like getting Robert Williams to make my order 15/8. Unusable, but impressive!
