    Default J A Henckels Twinworks "Twin"

    So I got this in a lot of razors I won the other day.
    I have searched the database and I see a TON of J A Henckels Twinworks razors but NOTHING about a TWIN.

    So my question is... What do I have here?
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank You razor guru's

    Twinworks labeled Henkels' were for export to English speaking markets, whereas Zwillingswerk were mostly domestic production IIRC. The "Twin" razors were usually standard size and type and were the budget-oriented model.
    All Henckels and fine razors!

    I rest my case.

    So now the question is making scales...what should I use?

    I have:
    Brown Horn
    Honey Horn
    Koa Wood
    Monkeypod
    Purpleheart
    Ebony

    NEVER worked with horn though....
    Also is there a "standard" shape for the TWIN model?

    Very nice blade! I wonder if the old expert worked on your razor?
