This link should provide you with the exact page of razors by Zwilling J.A. Henckels:

ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS :: Product Range :: Beauty :: Categories overview :: Razors

I believe J.A. Henckels is a subsidiary or a division of Zwilling. However, I'm not exactly sure. J.A. Henckels may also be a brand owned by Zwilling.

Maybe somebody else knows the exact history.

Zwilling means Twin in German. It is the Henckels brand name.

Where do you buy these?

Here's their USA subsidairy with tel. nr.: ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS :: Retailer

You have to scroll downwards a bit.

Hmmm, I think a European retailer needs to be called. I've tried calling the shop in Upstate NY, and they said, "we no longer carry, all sales are being handled by our sister shop tweezerman," I called tweezerman they had no idea what I was talking about.

I'll call the European retailers throughout the week.

Great blade. Great idea Kees!

Cheers

Look here: over 2000 retailers in the US by the looks of it:

ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS :: Retailer :: Your local retailer :: U.S.A.

It allows you to search by postal code!

No those are both kitchen shops. Already tried there. :-(

But if they carry Zwilling kitchen knives wouldn't they be able to lay their hands on a razor?

Or try here: Vintage Straight Razors - J.A. Henckels - Twin Works Friodur - Inox No Stain - 6/8 - Full Hollow - Original scales

I don't think razors are in their current production line. I know that they may be listed in web catalogs, but so are thinkpads on some parts of IBM's website...

Few years ago they were easily available, then they discontinued them.

There's always the option of the vintage blanks that john crowley has, he can probably tell you who ground them too.

Yeah. And apparently their hones are in a "different" catalogue. I dunno. It seems that there are different levels to "carrying" Zwilling products.
