Henckel 80 inox. The seller said it had never been used. It's at least a 5/8 maybe a little more. I needed one for trips that I wouldn't have time to let set out and dry so I'll give this one a try. This is one of the two photos so other than what the seller said I'm buying it blind.

This one came today and it didn't disappoint me. I can't see where it's been honed or used. I cleaned and disinfected and will hone tonight.

I’ve been using straights and honing just over a year and right away I noticed a little difference on the hone and the face feel of stainless razors, with practice I’ll just accustomed to it

That's a nice looking blade. It's no secret that Henckels are my favorite razors even though there are many out there that are good razors . To me there are none any better. For me the inox or stainless do hone a little different but when it gets there it's all good.

As I've said before in my opinion you can find a razor as good as a Henckel but none better. The 50 is a very popular razor and good ones are scarce. But then again there are a lot of Henckels that are very fine razors. As a friend of mine once said the pre war razors are excellent razors and well worth acquiring . Oh I just got back from a bike ride over in Arkansas that's why I'm just getting around to replying.

before I got hurt I played in bands and lived in a van that I traveled in. I can't count the bikers events we played at. the name of our band was Southern outlaws and we lived in one of those hills out there practically at the dead end LOL if you were lucky you might hear a car going down the old abandoned highway 15 miles away LOL beautiful country to ride in though
