I often yearn for a 8/8 Henckels with a graceful smile...
But no such razor exists.....does it?
I don't think that there is an equivalent. The Dubl Duck Grim Reaper is the closest I've seen.
For me, it's the Mappin Lancet someone already mentioned. Been trying to get one for a couple years, but can't seem to bid high enough on those rare occasions when one finally shows up.

Very unusual. What's the back story? Intended for personal use?I managed to snap up one of these last week at an unbelievably good price, with ivory scales. I can't wait until it arrives in the mail.
Yep, you and me got the same dream. 8/8 or 9/8 with a smile is my "One". I did alot of antique store hunting last summer and got close but didn't find it. It's out there, somewhere...My idea of "The One" changes from time to time, but I'd prefer to find it in an antique store rather than buying it from someone or having a custom one made. A lot of the razors I find out there are around 4/8 so I've been dreaming of finding a giant chopper that I can clean up and use. Something 8/8 or bigger with a wicked smile.

Here's a candidate from my collection but I'll probably change my mind tomorrow.
