Hmmm... there is a possibility that what appears to be a heel-hook, could actually be a visual artifact. A reflection of grass, or trees? After all, the bevel would reflect light (and thus partial image) at a different angle from that of the belly of the blade.

The image is either not captured in a fine enough quality setting, or high enough resolution, or the camera is not on a tripod. So I am basically just playing "Devil's Advocate".
But it is a bit of a shame that the slight smile has been honed out.Decades away from full-beard growing abilities.

It looks almost straight but I see a heel hook also so that to me would be more of a frown. Just sayin'.

Yeah, well if you had to hone “thousands” of razors and still make the time to photograph, post them on the Bay, sell, pack, send off... maybe you wouldn’t be so concerned about a wee heel hook, Mister. [emoji12] Originally Posted by sharptonn

Someone's selling this for 1,815EUR: DORKO RAZOR Rarity Solingen 6/8 " NOS Straight Razor High Quality New | eBay
Sure, It is a great razor in mint condition, but the same razor could be bought from very reputable vendor for third of the price.Last edited by dimab; 10-08-2017 at 02:29 PM.

Yep, jimps are what they meant. I guess they just auto-translated it from German.
