This one came in today and after cleaning and disinfecting I honed with my Naniwa super stones. 1-3-5-8-12K then finished on the Suehiro 20K. Looking forward to trying it out when the beard cooperates.

This one presents a problem. I can't make up my mind on whether or not I will keep it. I'm drawing close to stopping the search for razors. eBay is getting difficult to say the least.

If you like it keep it. If another comes along that you like better then keep that one and get rid of this one if you don't want it also . Don't let this one go now if you think you will really regret it .. In the end its up to you though.

what you say is entirely true. My problem is I like them all. I have some in the safe that the wife will sell some day (not too soon I hope) because i never will. This one shaves great but then I knew it would. I've never been disappointed with a Henckel even with my limited ability to hone.. This one is pushing the limit on size though. I kind of lean toward the smaller razors to use. The larger ones are really eye candy.

Well, it's a Henckels [sic!] razor. Mass produced, which is a good thing. Mass production means adequate quality control. What some people forget is that these razors were not made by the hundreds but by the thousands. If one of them is still alive, it's a good sign it actually works...

Very good Robin! You're razorsharp. Shown is a Revisor grinder. As I told in The Size of a Razor I recently achieved another R. 8/8th. I therefore contacted Revisor. If you do so you'll communicate with Mrs Sabine Kronenberg, the wife of the firm's CEO! She's very informative, and good at English.
