Product description says it's two feet long so yeah, of course it's huge. I think it'd be better if it was life-size or just a TINY bit bigger. I looked at one in a Spirit Halloween store near me. It has two holes in the blade and a little bump on the handle that fits into them -- bad description I know but using them the blade "locks" open or closed. I almost never dress up but I might hang one on a wall just because I actually do shave with a straight razor. (Can't stand wasting money on razor cartridges, electric shavers are lousy).
