Results: I got this Klopp a couple of months back as an impulse purchase and she turned out to be more than meets the eye I really love this razor especially at the price I snatched her from the Bay). I have not seen any other "Spezial" razors yet (so, this may be a rare breed). Heft is on the heavy side (~twice that of a similar sized blade) and the edge amazingly sharp and smooth

Congratulations on such a sweet razor at a good price. She's a good looker, and I like a heavy blade personally.
And thanks for making SOTD such a friendly and hospitable place with all your comments Robert, we all appreciate it.

Results: I spent several hours sanding the rust and grime off the blade of this ebay purchase. The blade isn't pretty but I got a nice, sharp edge on my Nortons last night. I got a BBS shave with no irritation after 3 passes. I wouldn't say she's perfect, but its my best effort yet with a wedge.

I like it, that Bengall has a tonne of character.

Half shih tzu and half terrier. So i call him a little shiter. LOL!

Cute dog Rene, I'm sure he and your daughter will be best friends for years.
Sounds like that razor shaves as good as it looks, very nice.
