First shave with the Henckels - not quite as smooth as I would have expected.

I opted for the $20 expert honed option on this one because I was afraid I might screw up such a nice razor. To my surprise, I found that my Dovo actually shaves a bit smoother. First pass was pretty tough, but I found also that I had to adjust my technique a bit and the shaving began to go a bit better. Sure have to be mindful of that sharp Spanish point!

On the positive side, I just love the heft and size of this razor and it sure is pretty.

All in all a decent shaver, but maybe my beard actually likes the carbon steel more than stainless? Should that make any difference at all?

Anyone here have experience with the Henckels Friodors and thoughts on how they perform as shavers?
