    I have the same razor. I agree the Bismarck is a wonderful shaver, which has a fantastic edge.

    rps20170831_202400_546.jpg F.W.Engels Lafayette 5/8ths Finally had the time to hone this treasure up .I bought it several years ago.I am a fan of F.W.Engels .This is the first Engels Lafayette I ever came across.I have not seen one since .Honed her up to 16 K than finished her on the Trans Arkie .Shave was wonderful.BBS in three passes.Razor worked extremely well especially against the grain and on the chin area .Shaved very similar to my Engels Leader .

    I have to agree the Engles do provide a really close comfortable shave :happy088:
