    Default New razor (pics inside), help me out :)

    Hey, I'm putting together a set for my brother, and I got this SR from the bay, it's a Henckels, Zwillingswerk, which I would imagine to make good razors?

    This is a pic:

    What do you think? I paid quite a lot for it, imo, I got it for 38 EUR... but it's for my brother and I'm running out of time

    What do you lads think? I like the look of it and I won't have to put a lot of time in 'restoring' it (I'm hoping for just a polish & hone) at first sight.

    I know their knifes cut damn well, not sure if they make half OK razors.. I just assumed?

    Meh... two days untill my B-day, he better got me some nice soap/cream

    Any guess on the grind etc... ?

    That will be an excellent shaver. No doubt about it.
    Looks like a full hollow to me. It's good that the spike point is muted a bit, assuming that your brother is just starting out?

    You didn't pay too much for it, €38 is a very good price for a razor of that quality in nearly spotless condition.

    Happy Birthday to both of you,
    Bart.

    The older Henckels like this one are among my very favorite shavers. I also would say good deal and enjoy!!

    That is a nice one, when you say set are you getting together 7 for a custom seven day set, or just a basic starter set to shave with?

    haha
    Nono, I mean the set as brush, razor, strop :-)

    Now, if he would buy ME a set, I would indeed expect at least a 7 day rotation in there

    All the Henckels razors I have,and I have 5 of them, give an outstanding shave. You can't go wrong with a Henckels in good shape.

    I definately agree! I have two older 6/8 carbon steel Henckels and they are great razors.
