Blue Wonder 8/8
Just got this one back from a little bit of cleaning and honing. Picked it up at an antique store recently in nearly the shape it's in today (just some staining on the blade and general crud on the scales). Last I measured it was a full 7/8 if not a bit above.

And I agree it is a fantastic shaver, I thought it was a full 8/8 though, maybe I am mis-remembering..
That one was the third Blue Wonder I have touched all 3 have been excellent but this one really stands a bit above...

Thats nice, I love those "cracked ice" scales.

I think you may be right on the 8/8 - I measured it when I first got it which was a couple months ago. And it was a fantastic shaver. Super smooth and close. Very easy to handle despite it's size. Full hollow blade but with the fortitude of a wedge!
