    The 72 and 472 are both square tips. Maybe someone else who has more information will know the ins and outs of the different numbers. The 472 has a slightly different shape and a decorative spine. Of the three I have, the 72 pictured is my favorite.

    My sole contribution, though I'd like to pick up a stainless at some point.

    Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between the Zwilling Henckels and the Friodur ?

    I just bought a few vintage Zwilling and I'm impressed.
    The Friodur look like newer blades.

    Razors designated Friodur are stainless steel blades not carbon steel. Other than that same same.

    Heres my modest contribution: JA Henckels #14 Graef & Schmidt stamped boxed seven day set in ivory. Found it last year on Ebay with a very low BIN price of under $250, dropped more than that on a full restore, but its the centerpiece of my collection. One of the blades had too much edge pitting to be functional and it took 8 months to find a matching replacement blade. Alfredo did a fantastic job on the restoration. Tossed in a before picture too.

    About the numbering of Henckels razors. If a model is available in both a round and a square point, the round point then becomes 1/2, as in a 72 is a square point and a 72 1/2 is a round point, however there are some models that were only made in a round point and those models have just the whole number as a model.
    It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
