DON"T TRY AND STOP ME. Now pass me some moonshine and a hone. I've got a face to shave...LOL Pass me some gauze too while you're at it.

Fresh out of shine, got some Cien Anos reposado though. How bout some habaneros?

A HONE? Hell boy, with an axe like that, you can use the sidewalk out front.

Wait wait wait wait wait - you've brought a bizillion and haven't used one yet?

Uh ohhh. Ive been found out. What can I say I'm a newbie wiith great taste and expensive hobbie ss. Please dont call the SRPolice on me.
I love researching the history of the blades. Well at least i don't lickn the backs of them and stick them in a stamp collection book....lol

First shave with an 8/8...awesome

Your forgiven . By the way the price for my silence is about 1 inch of Sheffield steel...

I confess I collected several to go with my vintage barbershop I was putting together before I began to shave with them. I started looking at the forums and thought "why not? I agree on the history as well. It is truly neat to research them as best I can. It is awesome to come here and post them to have real experts such as Neil Miller and Manah fill in the blanks. That is my favorite part of collecting. The shaves are great too!

Always like the looks of Big razors. I have a few that shave well but I have trouble seeing my face around the blade. Not sure if it's a focus problem but blades that size just block the view.
( may be just vain and not a focus thing(:-)

Here is what it may look like all cleaned up. Use it in good health.

See this is exactly why I love the people in this forum. Because everyone gets it. There are so many different facets and avenues that lead us all here to the same spot. I do graphic design (hence the name cheetah meat) and I love all kinds of vintage stuff so I thought It would be cool to display some huge straight razors in old oval wooden frames with the convex bubble glass. The type of frames that your grand mother or great grand mother would have in her house with the black and white photo of the whole family inside. Well the project fell through but I started doing some research and the rest is history..but I'm still committed to finding the largest straight razors available.
