Macy's Sells Straights?

[choiboy05]

I was looking for J. A. Henckels on google and a link for macy's came up.

Oddly enough it is in the perfume section.

Wow that's interesting...considering I looked through an old Sears Roebucks catalogue...that Macy's price isn't cheap..is it shave ready?

Says it does, but I doubt it with all of that "patina" forming on the edge lol.

You can also find it amid all the AOS stuff in the Men's grooming section

I doubt Macy's have someone with a hone on staff, it would be the factory edge. It might be OK, but I would get someone to look it over before use if I was new.

I hear the new production Henckels are not good, steel too soft and not taking good edge.

These days, you never know who sells what. that could very well just be something they get a cut of, and from a shipper who slaps a macy's label on a box.

It's like looking for something at wal mart of sears, both of those probably "carry straight razors", too, but their product listings are a little bit more straightforward about what's carried by them and what's just sold by a third party on their site.

Yeah... I figure if there were awesome current production Henckels razors floating around we would all know about it. I would like to hear from someone who owns one though.

I honed what looked to be a fairly new Henkels for a member here. The blade had a slight warp, and I had to bust out a narrow hone and do a rolling stroke to get it shave ready.

I know someone that hones professionally had some real head aches with one of those, the steel was pretty soft and took edge very reluctantly.

Barbers cut Thuri with a rubbing stone for $1.39

I'm gonna get back to that time machine I was building.


Stim U Vac.... "Also works with the pressure of vacuum cleaner". Men were seriously strapping a vacuum cleaner to their heads to try and regrow hair. How have we escaped nuclear annihilation for this long?

Sounds like that Suck Cut thing on Waynes World.

"It's sucking my will to live!!"

I'd forgotten about that. Ahh, that made me laugh.
