Thanks Gipson!

Mike T....

I guess the only thing I can tell you is that it just takes a lot of time and patience. I use everything at my disposal: Hand Sanding, Bench Buffer, Dremmel...BUT mostly I just take my...

Thank you Andrew my friend! Kind words and much appreciated! I will tell you true that you are going to love this Henckels....:tu

Thank you...I appreciate it!



Thank you Mike! I'm not quite sure what you mean by "ripples from rust on the blade", but generally the first thing I do is use a soft brass wire wheel to clean...

Thanks Paul! Although this was really a perfect razor to restore. Very little hone wear and the edge was perfect. Just a bit of rust BUT no pitting to speak of. I've restored a lot worse for sure and...

Well...you'll see it soon Andrew! It is a stellar shaver and you're gonna really love the way it shaves...'spike point' and...

Thanks Tom and Shawn. Seems like a consensus that these are great Shavers, and IMO it's moved near the top of my 'want list'. I have 3 other Henckels...one of which is a 13/16th #74 and they are all...

Thank you WW243...and you're right: #14's do kick ass!

Thanks Bob! I know you like the "14's"...this was easy to hone and really took a fantastic edge.



Thank you Dave...although honestly the scales were the worst part. The blade itself was really...

This is a beauty that I just finished for a good friend, with a 'minimalist' approach... :). I kept it as close as I could to an original finish with minimal sanding done with very high grit, and...
