some gorgeous blades guys! bigbubba the point on that one is just gorgeous man, fabulous razor.

So far, just a few 7/8"+ (about 1" at the widest point, but mostly 7/8") W&B celebrated hollow grounds. Not the for barber's use ones. They're roughly half hollows.

I can't wait to try out some bigger blades, as these guys are my favorite blades so far, but I don't have the cash to step up to an 8/8+ at the moment.

I am tempted to ask a follow-up question - how often do you shave with those monsters, and what is the largest "frequent shaver" in your stable?

In my case, it would be a 7/8 Wacker Jungmeister and a 13/16 Hargreaves Smith. That 8/8 Wosty is a bit too extreme blade for daily use for me.

The Monster as restored by Max. 8/8 Wedge the heaviest razor I have ever held.

Here's me and my 8/8 Savage.

I'm going to put mine on ebay. Here just one shot.
Notes: it is a bit difficult to close.. Overall very good conditions for its age.

That stokes the fires of my RAD. When you put it up please post a link.

That thing looks photoshopped! Doesn't the edge stick out the backside of the scales when closed?

What size is it?
