That'll clean up nicely. Can't make out the stamp in the picture. Who made it?
I am very fond of the shoulderless razors, have a Joseph Rodgers & Sons, Bismarck.......what brand is that one?
Henckels. don't know what no. i'll just have to wait until it gets here. I too have a Joseph Rodgers and a wade and butcher shoulderless . this will make the 3 henckels shoulderless and I hope it turns out as good as the others.Quote:

I have a couple of Henckels, very high quality great shaving German razors. They seem to take just a tad bit more honing than some razors but well worth it when you finally get them right. I sold one a while back but plan on keeping the ones I currently have.
You know how I feel about Henckels. This makes me quite envious.
Well it finelly came in today and i was quite surprised. the scales were in very good shape and only took a little buffing to come to a good shine. the blade had a little oxidation and it cleaned up nicely. haven't honed or shaved with it yet but will try to hone in a few days. i really do like these no shoulder razors. there easier to hone.
You certainly never need to worry about a heel hook or to reduce the heel
Well i got the hones down yesterday and went to work. I went through the process of 1-3-5-8-12K naniwa and then finished on the Suehiro 20K. Stropped about 50 or 60 laps and took my shower and then shaved. The razor shave ok but not what i expected so i got to thinking it was a new to me razor so the problem might just be me. tonight i got ready and stropped again and then shower and shave. this time i paid more attenion to the angle and pressure. To make a long story short (too late) It did as expected. after all it is a Henckel.
