Otto & Reynders N. York ***Massive***
I was send a razor and was notified about it being on the large side. Nothing I can't handle, right?.
When I opened the mailbox and took the parcel out I was struck by the amount of weight coming from that small parcel USPS box. Didn't think to much about it until I opened the box and nearly fell out of my chair. I have seen some large razors in my life, but this one blows them all away.
The wife called it a bayonet. That thing is a weapon. LOL. It's at least 1 inch longer than any other razor I have encountered. The scales are toast and will need to be replaced. Blade will need a good cleaning with some grinding and sanding to get the pitting off. But considering the age it's in real good condition. The weight is something else too. You can practically pump iron while shaving and work those triceps.
Anyway, thought I'd share this monster. Looking at the tang and stubby monkey tail I would place this razor around the mid 1800's or even earlier. If anyone has some information please let us know.
As comparison I've added a Filarmonica 14 EPBD and a Dubl Duck Dwarf.
Razor: Otto & Reynders N. York
Total weight: 5.7 Oz
Total cutting edge: 4.20 inch
Widest width, 11/8 at the toe side, 10/8 at the heel side
Grind: 1/4 Hollow

You sure that's not a folding machette?

I am sorry to inform you sir, but that is not a straight razor. That is an axe.

You can shave in the morning and then drop that thing into your pocket as your daily carry for self-defense...

Bigger is better? I bet this was made for use on horses.

Giants need to shave too! Very cool, I like longer blades, but this one takes the cake.
