    Default what's this all about? forge welded?

    Hi folks, saw these antique straights on eBay, can anyone educate me in this type of straight razor? Are they forge welded, do they shave like a hollow grind?

    **I'm not bidding on them, just curious.

    I don't see any reference to "forge welded" in the description. Forge welded usually refers to 'pattern welded damascus'. The frameback in the link is a factory produced razor which is a forged blank ground and tempered AFAIK. The old vintage razors make fine shavers if they are in good condition without excessive honewear or corrosion in the bevel IME.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Thank you! good to know they're called framebacks, now I can search the site to my hearts content. May look to buy one in the future.
