Thread: Henckels Heros

And I shied away from getting a stainless blade because I was always the mindset carbon is best. I have to tell you.......my JAH's in stainless seem to be holding better edges and shave incredibly over maybe my carbon blades. Maybe it is in my head but an observation none the less I have noticed.

I've tried stainless blades in the Henckels and other brands and haven't yet been able to get as good a shave with stainless as i do with carbon blades. I do love my Henckels in carbon.

Alfredo aka Doc226, not sure if thats his user name on this forum tho. You can PM me for his contact info, if needed.

I recently got a friodur just as yours. With the same checker flag.

It is by far the best razor I have ever used. Bought NOS, honed on coticule from thick slurry to only water finishing. It is the mildest edge I have ever experienced on my skin , and sharpest.

Got BBS shave very time. I prefer it to another NOS I recently got, Puma 39. sharpened the same exact way (15min the Henckel vs 50min the puma to get them HHT4/5), the Puma shredded my face while the friodur gave me the best shave ever.

all other razors are oiled and tucked away in a box.

I have come close to this same thing. I look to pick up some more Henckels for sure. I absolutely love them.
