Thread: Shave Ready Henckel on E-Bay

I just bought a restored 5/8 Henckel SR from Altima55 on E-Bay. It arrived last night. It was nothing really special, it cost me less than $50. It was advertised as shave-ready, but I did not have high expectations regarding its sharpness. Boy, was I surprised. It is the sharpest blade I have shaved with yet. I just added Altima55 to my favorite seller list, and the Henckel just became the favorite in my rotation.

Brilliant!
The other one he has sounds good, too:

This is a J. A. Henckels #78 straight razor that was made in Solingen, Germany. It is in excellent condition with a 9/16 mirror finish, spike point blade. This razor shows minimal prior usage. It opens and closes snug and smooth on the pivot pin and well centered between the handles. The shiny brown multi colored celluloid handles are in superb defect and blemish free condition. The blade and handles of this razor have been completely restored throughout, which has left all the surfaces, re-finished and in a completely clean, sterilized and polished condition, even in the pivot pin area between the scales. Recently honed to provide a smooth, close and comfortable shave, this razor has been "shave ready tested", and it comes shave ready.

Very reputable seller, you can feel confident bidding on his auctions.

I totally agree. I got a Roxo razor from him.. man, that is something! My compliments, that is a professional honing!
