I am on the fence with this one, so you guys chime in. This Henckels razor plus a decent NOS strop for $50.

Isn't that kind of like asking the mice if you should eat the cheese?
Hopefully.
Hard to tell what the edge looks like in my photo. If it looks ok. Go for it.

I'm an enabler, let the RAD flow through you
off topic, but did you know they used a cows eye for that scene in un chien andalou in your avatar?
on topic - buy it :P
Buy it, buy it, buy it! Looks like a good razor.
GOOD GRAVY MAN....for 50 dollars !!? BUY IT !! Then send it to Sixgun or one of the others for fixing up and honing.That will be a nice razor.
If you don't take I will,LOL
Nightblade's outrage has me convinced. I dunno if I've even seen a spanish point Henckels before, actually.
What kind of strop? The razor is a no brainier.
Strop is nothing fancy but it's almost new and they had the good sense to store it rolled up. I could use a regular strop, all I have is my homemade paddle strop now.
Well that's 2 to 0 in favor of the purchase then. How can you go wrong ? Unless your in SA (Shavers Anonymous) like me. :nono:
I thought this forum was Shavers Anonymous, did I take the wrong door somewhere?Quote:

well I will play devil's advocate here. Save the fifty and use it towards a better razor. I'm flashing back to prices prior to this inflated time. I remember better prices. That being said, I own many Henckels and find them to be wonderful shavers. All comes down to what it's worth it to you.
What's there to be on the fence about?! I would have bought it, given the chance.
I've spent fifty on worse :-) if you haven't already it may be time to buy that razor. And def get itnpolishes up!
Ill help try to balance it out and say no don't buy it, but just for good measure where is it for sale ;-) you know just so I can tell them not to sell it to you if you have a moment of weakness
The blade looks good, if the strop is in decennt shape it is truly a win/win situation.
If you ain't bought it yet you don't want a razor ! :deal:
For real.......listen to the mods if not me. That's a good little vintage razor.If I had the fifty dollars I would buy it.Yes,you could buy a brand new razor and that would be that. Old blades in good shape get rarer by the day,so why not have a piece of shaving history while you still can. Seriously, you get that fixed up and you'll have something to brag about. No outrage intended :angel:............
Oh God.....now the suspense is killing me !:aargh:
50 dollars is not much to get burned on just do it!
???????????
Setting up a meeting with the guy soon. Will post up.
