Hell yeah! If an older German razor has that 'Alto, cast steel' ring to it, it is a keeper! Love 'em!

Yep! I agree...
Here's a couple of quick pics of he 66 I just finished...except for pinning the pivot. I'll take some better pics once I have it pinned tomorrow and then post it up...

Funny, the second #66 I pictured looked a lot like yours as I began, except it had been straight-honed. I expect they both started out looking more like my 3rd example. Anyway, I went out to the spinning fine stone to give a bit of smile to a straight-honed old blade, as usual, and proceeded to overdo the top, compensated on the heel. Oh MY! What did I do? Some compounds and a dremel, etc. It has shaved WONDERFULLY for years. A smiling accident which turned out awesome. Originally Posted by Wolfpack34

Evidence of hardness, through and through! Love this blade, scales are from an old Puma.
I always
smile as it comes up!

That would be carbon. Pretty positive. Originally Posted by Phrank

Gorgeous, gorgeous Henckels all. Love the way that smiler turned out Tom.
Another razor I've been watching for. ..
Have a Henckel kitchen knife from my dad that's still my favorite despite what a pita to sharpen it is. Hard hard steel.
