Hello from Naperville, Illinois
Good morning everyone. I have been wet shaving with DE and SE razors for around 10 years, but I have never tried a straight razor. Recently, I received my wife's grandfather's straight razor, and getting the razor was just the push I needed to give it a try. The razor I received is a J.A. Henckels TwinWorks #34. I could not find much information on the razor. I look forward to interacting with the members of this group as I learn.

Welcome to the SRP forum,Rascal ! Posting an image of your razor would be helpful. Here you will find some info concerning Henckels. J. A. Henckels - Straight Razor Place Library

Welcome to the forum, it looks like the pin is missing in the wedge.

Plenty to learn and we're just the bunch to teach you. Have one of the pros restore your razor to its glory and treasure it.
