straight razors made by Wusthof-trident are very famous!!! Infact is very diffucult find a NOS with a low budget. The cut of trident is decisive and efficace.
I have 2 wusthof-TRIDENTE and they cut very well(are also beautiful )
If you find a straght razor in good condition, in the range of 30-70$ buy without doubts..
I have a nice 7 day set of Ed Wustof razors. I had one razor honed (Tuesdays) and it was a very smooth shave. Love the spines with the days of the week. I don't think mine are the top end blades, but nice nonetheless. Other than Tuesdays razor, none have been used or honed before I was told.
I have a couple too, very nice shaving razors.
Thank you gents. I really appreciate the feedback.
My very first SR. I began to learn to hone and shave with it. It's the only razor i own of which i know the previous shaver. He died a bit young and I got it at his estate sale with very little intention of actually using it. It's not bright and shiny, but shaves fine.
The razors are even better than the cutlery, I have both...
I'll chime in w/ Shooter. 'Have the cutlery, only got to test a razor after honing for a member. 'Lovely razor. This one was beefy in the shank, very comfortable & controlled w/ all the weight. Between the cutlery & the razors - the cutlery is very good, but I'd take the razors.
I really love their Kitchen knives and own a particularly good one myself. One of these days I might pick up one of their razors just to see how it compares!
Had two back in the day,Beautifull Blades, both N.O.S. untouched,sadley I had to part with them:(
I have one that was NOS when I got it. It is a wonderful razor.

I'd bet that if you asked a chef he'd say Wusthof is right up there with with the likes of Henckels.

I should have looked at your OP. I think you can take it for granted that Wusthof razors are as good as a Henckels razor considering Henckels also makes knives. I would have no hesitation getting a Wusthof and will do eventually myself.Quote:
