Nice vintage J.A. HENCKELS - #49 straight razor. Razor has been dis-assembled cleaned, polished, honed and waxed and is shave ready. Blade is nice, but does have some spotting/pitting/patina on both sides of blade. Still a very nice looking blade. Moderate hone wear. See pics for details.

Blade width measures at 6/8ths.
Razor length is 6 1/4th inches.
Blade grind is approximately a 3/4 hollow.
No jimps on shank.


Front side of shank is stamped - J.A. HENCKELS - SOLINGEN GERMANY - 49. Back side is stamped - GRAEF & SCHMIDT.

Scales are new custom made by me, in COCOBOLO WOOD. They have been finished with several coats of paste wax. Wedge is CORIAN. Pins are stacked brass.  Blade closes on center.

Blade has been honed and finished on a vintage Thuringian with one layer of tape on spine. shave ready - very smooth shaver.
