Thoughts on J.A. Henckels 415

I just purchased a NOS 415 and am extremely excited to get it in the mail in the coming weeks. I am curious what those of you who have used them think of them, and more importantly, if anyone knows their history (production dates, etc).

I am just curious more than anything, and they seem to be a variety of Henckels that is hard to dig information up on. Not going to lie though, I think I will be hard-pressed to find a better looking razor/scale combo, especially with the brass bolsters and twin logo.

TIA!

Post some pics when she gets here.

Never tried one myself. They're a bit modern for my tastes. ;)

Had one for some time. They take a great edge.

Will do for sure. I am extremely excited to get it!

I have to say that Henckels is my favorite brand, so I don't understand how this could go wrong. They are a looker from the greatest razor company ever, I don't see a down side.

I like mine for sure. Takes a great edge and is easy to handle. Looking forward to your pics.

I couldn't consider myself a SR user without at least one Henckel!

Great shaver , easy to hone, holds an edge well. Ya gotta watch that point though. Mine was NOS and has a wicked sharp point on it. Great for tight spots but a maneater if you're not paying attention. Still one of my favorites. Enjoy:beer2:

I restored one a little while back for a Amercan living in the UK he's also a member of the UK forum the shaving room it was his Fathers razor, I then took the liberty of shaving with it before I sent it back they are more of an extra hollow and some of them have a very wicked square point If I'm not mistaken I think most of them are 11/16 nice looking razor and the scales are also very nice.
