Just got my second Henckels in the mail yesterday.
Isn't it a great feeling when you get that new package in your hands?:tu
Black handle is the newly arrived 7/8 Spanish point with worked back fron Vintage blades, the red handled one is a 7/8 roundpoint from Shaving Shop.
I need to hone up the new 7/8 SP and see what she's got!
Very nice !! I want one of those red scaled round pointed twins too:rant::D
They are excellent value from shavingshop.
I love that Spanish Point!
How would you rate the scales? Bought an 8/8 square tip with the same curves on the spine. My scales are poor at best, it looks like they were not meant for a blade of that length or size, there's a lot of scraping on the end opposed to the pivot. Also I have to be careful when closing the razor unless I want to strop off plastic the next time I shave.
The blade it self shaves great though, nothing there, its just the scales which I'm going to try and have replaced within the next two months.
I didn't think much of the scales, thus I rescaled the first one:Quote:

Next up, is the Spanish point...
Seraphim,
You suck! :roflmao
I am waiting (not so patiently) for my 7/8 Spanish point from Jim! There is a bit of a delay since Lynn is honing her for me, but I can't wait!
The bad part is I am going out of town next week, so I doubt I'll be home when she arrives. :cry:
Looking forward to the Friodur addition to the CODT!

Well, since I'm honing it myself, mine isn't ready to shave yet either, if that is any consolation.
Although I did give it a few passes on 9um, 6um, and 3um lapping film, so it is getting closer to shave ready...:D
The Spanish point is going to get either walnut or cherry scales...decisions, decisions....
And I must say Jim was excellent to deal with at Vintage. As was John at Shaving Shop.
I flip-flopped about the honing but in the end, I figured with a "new" razor (and since I have never tried a SS blade) it would be smarter to have Lynn give this one a touch.
I hone all of my others so I am hoping this will set the bench-mark for them. I figure I can guage my honing progress!
As for scales, I am heading up to my folks place this week. My intnet is to work with my step-dad on some designs. I have no idea yet how this one will end up, but it may be Koa or something spalted....:shrug:
