Thanked: 23First Henckels razor
I wasn't really looking for another straight razor - heck, I already have four and I have a hard time working them into my rotation as it is...but, when I saw this razor by Henckels I really liked the look of it.
Twenty-two dollars later I ended up being the hopefully-proud owner of it.
I believe that the somewhat unusual spine design was to accommodate a guard but apart from that I really don't know much about the razor or brand so I guess I have the same 3-4 questions most people would have when buying something mostly based on how it looked;
1) How is Henckels as a brand w/in straight razors (and of course this razor model in particular),
2) Any issues you spot with the razor that my relatively untrained eye missed that would prevent it from being a good shaver,
3) Roughly how old is it, and
4) At $22 was this a good deal?
Really looking forward to checking it out in person next week or so.

Cool! I have one similar. Great shaver. The razor originally had a guard on it which could be removed.
Mine is missing the guard as well. Who needs it anyway!"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

For that price you need to listen for sirens and watch for flashing blue lights!
You stole it, indeed!
I only have one Henckels, an 11v, and it shaves like a dream. Everytime I use it it makes me want more.
Uh - Oh!!! What have I done now!
Enjoy your new razor!
