My First W&B and Henckels!

[Sixxtwo]

Score from 2 different antique shops. The W&B I believe is a 5/8 and the Henckels is a 4/8 or 5/16. Unsure really about the exact models. If any one has any good info or links about these razors, post em!

The spots along the Henckels blade are not chips. I am not sure why it showed up like that in the pic.

TY B&B

Not too shabby. What are your plans for them? You gonna just hone 'em up and shave, or you going to 'perfect' them like some of the other guys around here?

I let weizemanner hone up the wade/butcher to scary levels, but I played around w/ it too much and dont have a strop (yet).
So, my shave didnt go well which was totally my fault and inexp. I do plan on rescaling it, the current ones are really warped.

The Henckels isnt shave-ready, and I really want to restore it as is. The logos continue to fade and that is the real drawback. What I want to try is laser engraving the logos. Altho, I know that isnt an easy burn to try due to the accuracy of the lasers and running the program 1000 times to get it right.
