    Nice. My henckels 7/8 is my favorite blade. They are just great all around.

    Thanks for sharing...this does indeed look very nice...

    How do they compare (grind/shave/handling) with the Fridor Stainless in the same size?

    I wouldn't know to be honest as I don't own any stainless steel razors, but off the top of my head I would say they probably shave fairly similar but please someone chip in If there's a noticeable difference between the big Henckels in stainless compared to the carbon steel version.

    My Friodur Stainless is by far my favorite. Best shaver and a joy to use!
