Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

Okay, you now officially have too many razors!
It’s the truth…I am done for awhile…between these Sprechers and the 3 magnificently ground Frederick Reynolds I rescued with the Hohenzollern Abziehsteine “sharpening block,” I just don’t think it gets better, and I don’t know where else to go!
 
A speculative bid since the razor was closed but the Magnum Bonum was clearly visible.
Well, it's a near wedge, measuring exactly 9/8 or 28.55mm with the calipers.

Just received this Rudolf Stehlo from Griffith. To the best of my understanding he was a grinder for Henckels who continued making razors (probably from Friodur blanks) after Henckels got out of razors. This one is 7/8+ and half-hollowish, so right in line with what a Henckels 17 would be. Cutting edge is about 2.5 inches which I like a lot too. Unfortunately Stehlo passed away a few years ago.
