Gents (and Ladies, if applicable),

My first and favorite razor is this Robert Klaas 11/16 from Germany. It has "AM" etched on the blade and is full-extra full hollow. You can find a picture of it in the Wiki Database under "Klaas, Robert 11/16 'Etched AM'".

I'm not sure what's so great about this razor aside from the fact that it gives me a close, clean shave in all directions. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that it keeps an amazing edge (honed by Sham about 2 months ago) with minimal stropping (the usual 30-40 strokes on leather - I don't have linen).

I'm wondering if anybody else has good experiences with this razor/brand. I must have gotten some serious beginner's luck because when I picked this one up I shopped based on price and not quality. Lucky me.

Thanks for reading,

Ogie
