Really BIG straight razors

Yep, thankfully that one is mine. Japanese paper steel.
darn... I shoulda made you trade with me for a bit... That thing is awesome. How does it shave compared to mine? With a JNAT edge, is there any appreciable difference with the steel?
If you close your eyes, you would be hard pressed to tell a difference.

I love that wedge.
The biggest I have is a 15/16 W&B, but I'll keep an eye on ebay for something even bigger
Held that one in my hands lately. The blade is much bigger than it appears on the picture. I did not buy it because of the scales. That metallic painted thing does this wonderful blade not justice. BTW. Where'd you got it. I don't-know-where.
My largest blade so far and a fantastic shaver: 7/8 Dorko. View attachment 305597
Wow, guys, these pictures make me want to use one of my large razors again. I've been using 5/8 straights lately.
Nice. But #14 Filàrmonicas are 7/8. no?
Here's my Dorko 15/16"...
Dorkos are great. No other razor in my collection that is so easy to hone and provides such a fantastic shave. This is the razor I would take with me if I had to move to Mars for tax reasons.
Some Dorkos. ... the one in front is wearing bone scales now - I should update this photo soon I guess.
Found a current pic of the one wearing white above

Wow... I've posted the Wacker elsewhere, and mentioned it here, but I don't believe I've posted a photo of it in this thread!
Wacker Gadsden 15/16 Spanish Point, Buffalo Horn scales.
Very nice, and a heavy beast. It's my #1, use it almost exclusively.
It's my only blade that will take an HHT using SWMBO's "spider silk" hair, and it holds an edge forever (last time I honed it was last July).
