A nice slab of Sheffield's finest landed or shall I say crashed, in my mailbox a few days ago.
A 9/8 wedge "W&B for Barber's use".
Not only is it big, it's all original & has a beautiful patina.
Just a good session with the hones & he will be ready for some real mowing

HOLY COW! I can't even imagine shaving with that.
Without a sense of scale my mind keeps resizing the blade to 9/8, because I simply cannot imagine a razor that immense!Hunter

I like the traditional look of the wrapped handle. I think I would like the feel of that grip. Where do you buy the oriental style blades like that btw? Originally Posted by sicknote
