    Default F.Herder's "77"

    I really wasn't looking for another razor, but this one caught my eye. It appears to me that this razor has never been honed. It may have been stropped a time or two but the condition of the blade appears to me like new. I can see a hairline crack in the scale at the pin. Not the pivot side. Also The blade does not center perfectly. That bring up my question, how would one go about centering the blade in the scales?
    This razor will be off to get honed in a day or so.
    Can anyone provide feedback on the approximate age of this razor?

    This is a modern razor (I think early 1990s),
    that was made by very authoritative Solingen company:

    P.S. Possibly, the razor was made in 2000s by Hans-Joachim Röllecke, using Herder's trademark.

    Sorry for my incorrect sumption about 1990s. I found the information now, that the laser engraving has become more cost effective in the late 1990s. So, I'm sure the razor was made some years ago, in 2000s.
