I would be surprized if they still use them. The problem with str8s is more with strops than with the razors. You can't touch a razor to the strop after it touches a customer's face. So, it would be safe to use str8s on different customers if they're sanitized in between, but if you needed to strop mid-shave you would either have to switch to a new razor or continue using a sub-optimal one. If you brought your own strop, the problem is solved.

He definintely shaves me better than I shave myself even with the 8/8 henckels, Im not sure if its because he shaves so many people or simply because its easier to shave someone else
My gues would be because he has a better view of what he's doing. Most of my issues have to do with missing or skipping over spots. That's not a problem if you have a good view of the face and the razor angle.
