Once I tried twhite 's Henckels, I knew I wanted to get my own. I figured I would try to get one during 2018, but I was fortunate enough to come into one yesterday. I struck a deal with a guy in Ohio. It is the most I have paid for any razor, but it is a special razor for sure. Unless the weather slows things down, it should be here on Saturday.

Glad to enable you Jim. When you get it send the blades to me. I will get them ship shape for you.

Nice score! I can't wait to try the razor when it gets to me on Friday for a head shave. Probably couldn't afford one of my own but from your reviews and purchase, it's going to be an experience!

The Henckels arrived a day early. I was pleasantly surprised to see it in my PO program. I went down to the box and retrieved it. The first picture is my first glimpse of it. Then, I removed the contents for a picture. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were actually three blades in the set, two J.A. Henckels and one other. The razor had some soap scum build up. The first thing I did was to spray it with bathroom cleaner and put it in a bath of hot water and Dawn liquid. After some work with a toothbrush and a rinse with hot water, I dried it off and took the following pictures.

I am planning on giving them a try. I will send you two and keep the best for now, I think. I am going to give them a good stropping first, but I do want to get a great twhite edge on them for sure.
