I just wonder if others have experienced what i have. I have run across a Henckel that shave close and clean as any solingen razor I've tried but as smooth and comfortable as any Sheffield I've used. It's an old no. 52 Henckel about 6/8 to 13/16 with barbers notch. It's hollow ground but not extra hollow. It honed quickly and holds an edge great. This one will stay.
