I have big, long hands (I'm 6ft 3" tall).
You're right though - it wasn't easy to hold onto when shaving, and I also realised that the edge near the toe was blunt even though I'd honed it up and the rest of the blade was very, very sharp. Never thought to check, but my Belgian coticule bout isn't flat and needs lapped, so wasn't honing evenly. 320 grit wet'n'dry paper ordered from Amazon....
It's a lovely wee razor though - caught my eye because it was unusual and I got it for £2.99 in the end!
