Strange, I see lots of big razors on ebay. They all need some loving though.
Just keep your eyes on the BST, they do pop up

Shavingshop has quite a few 7/8 and 8/8 razors

Most are full hollows, but some of the dorkos and wackers are pretty heavy.

Yep, if you want a wedgey razor you'll have to pick up vintage steel from Ebay or one of the BST forums.
TI do have a 7/8 heavy grind - check here - the snakewood scaled piece is the one I mean.

I LOVE the way my TI 7/8 shaves.
I have a shavingshop 8/8 Friodur. It is a nice heavy razor. I am not a fan of the scales on the thing, but it is a good shaver.
Some interesting finds, in addition to the TI mentioned above, are the TI 7/8 olive wood on classicshaving, large W&B razors on the 'bay, Filarmonicas from the 'bay, and the larger wackers on shavingshop.

I've got a really nice 6/8" wedge, that is a really old Sheffield steel beauty.
It takes a great edge and gives that close super smooth shave the guys look for.
I was going to put this up on the BST a bit later in the year, but if your intersted drop me a pm and I can tell you about it. It's not cheap. Well it is relative to modern hand forged razors. It's made by G Johnson and for a razor that's over 170 years old it's still all original and nobody has messed with it.
