Thread: Clan of the Dancing Twins

I am waiting as patiently as possible for this in the mail: http://picasaweb.google.com/aukani/Henckels

I know it's not pretty, but it's going to be my first shave (rumor has she's a great shaver), so I humbly submit my application to the Clan. Plus, I have an actual twin brother, which I hope the committee keeps in consideration. :P

Just arrived this morning....

This was my first straight... Scales courtesy of Joe Chandler.

OMG! Look at the blade! That is one incredibly beautiful Henckels!

The blade! look at the scales!!!!!!

That is quite literally the most beautiful razor I've seen. I've seen some of the more ornate customs, but I tend to have simple tastes. The gentle swirling in the light wood. The tiny stone(?) spacer. Very cool logo on the blade as well. I'd love to see the same thing with a barber's notch, sometimes I prefer that sometimes not. Simply gorgeous nonetheless. I'm crazy jealous.

I'd never seen a Henckels with that type of etching before. Any Henckels is hard to resist, but ad the etching, and I might as well set the proxy bid for 'just win it'.

The scale material and design is all the artistic work of Joe Chandler.

This is a good shaver and in my rotation.

Different coffin also.

I just realized the link you posted is the razor I just bought! It obviously hasn't arrived but I'm looking forward to it! Finally able to join the CODT (Clan of the Dancing Twins)!

I was a little disapointed with the rounded blade and I wondered if it was originally a spike (which I actually wanted) based on the limited pics. Hopefully someone who knew what they were doing rounded the spike rather than just filed it.

I'll post some pics once I get her and cleaned up a bit!
