Thanks Gents,
I was on the lookout for a clean 72 1/2 and this one did not disappoint. The second one is just as nice, no box or paper but can't cut whiskers with them so no worries.
There is another nice 72 on ebay right now with a pretty darn good BIN price if anyone has a hankering fer a Henckels. I can't look at it again, or we will be talking about triplets in this thread.
I was just looking at the paper that came with the 72 1/2. Figured I'd add a pic, paper feels old and crunchy.

It would be very interesting to know the date of manufacture and any history about these, or Henckels in general. I know we all love to talk razors, what do you know about the 72s?
