EBay Buy: Henckels Lot

Sunday: July 16, 2023

I shaved with my Henckels Rapide today. It is one of my favorite razors. Mickey saw my shave and wanted to buy my Henckels. I told him he didn't have enough money. Anyhow, I went to EBay to see what was out there. I found this lot, and I decided to buy it.  I will decide what to keep and what to sell once it arrives. I will keep the Allegra Blade Sharpener and two or three of the blades. I may keep the velvet lined case with the soap tubes and one of the razors. I will give Mikey first chance on one of the razors with a blade or two and stropping handle. 

Everything below this line came from the EBay listing.
