I have a 6/8 Henckel round point that until this morning i have given a lot of thought about letting go. I decided to give it one more try this morning and I found out something about this razor. Before I had been shaving like always same angle same pressure same direction. this time i almost laid the razor flat against my face. What a world of difference. This time it gave one of the best shaves ever. I'm saying this just to let folks know don't give up on the razor. It just might be you. (or in my case me)
