Thread: Project: "Shave with Eight SE hoe razors in a row"

That one looks like you loosen the two little screws so the blade will slide down more. Tighten them and it gets higher?
Seems adjustable in a way. Have you experimented with that any?

Hmm...I haven't but now you are going to have me to do that tonight

I have one similar, made in Germany from the Exclusive Cutlery Shop in San Francisco. It has a different setup and blade stops at the cutting edge. I suppose no adjusting on this one. Handle seems much more substantial. I presume it was made by Henckels for them.
Who knows how many variations were made?

Very nice - you should take it for a spin

I will someday. Just a challenge to hone the blades. Bayamontate has given me some instructions.
If I can get another Rolls blade to shave like he did, I will be in. An advantage to this one is, like my Everite, a handle is provided for honing and stropping. Should be pretty easy, although it surely needs lots of cleaning!

You might be able to use a modern SE blade in it as well. Not sure though. But my L'Essor takes a modern blade just fine for instance.

I have the same razor branded Kronenberg 101 which I absolutely love, she shaves great.

Looks great! Don't see many of those around actually.

Yes, Nelson. It seems a ringer for mine. Much cleaner and sharper, however!

I came across it by pure accident, its prior owner sold me a vintage coticule and we bungled the Kronenberg in with the deal. These razors have great balance, much better than the Darwin and the Rolls IMO.
