RA! RA! RAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD!!!!!!! 8/8 Friodur

**Vashaver** · 05-07-2009, 02:15 AM

I want see how you guys like them.... I considerd this one myself but could not bring myself to hit the butten. Having another Old 5/8 Friodur that has spoiled me has turned me into a skeptic and I dont want to be disapointed.

Nice catch. The price was very good, and they are sweet shavers. I've got a 7/8 of the same style, and though I don't reach for her often (just not my favorite blade to shave with for whatever reason), I'd still have to say she is an amazing blade in all regards.

I've had several that honed up extremely well and others that were a true nightmare or PITA as they say. Enjoy.

Now that I can tell ya about I have one of those old Friodurs too in 11/16 I have honed quite a few of these large ones and it takes some doing to get them near as smooth as the older smaller ones...

Yes I have heard all the stories that is is the same steel yada, yada, yada, but I am not convinced....

Glen and or Max or anyone

Quik question is it tougher/harder steel more microchip prone or just a more coarse steel. Or all of the above!

I have found the Friodour's to be very difficult to hone, but great shavers once they are ready. If you get them keen, you will be rewarded with a unique shave. Solid resistance, yet a very good cut.

Nice grab! I sure love my Mammoth!

My big beast of a 8/8 in black micarta (from Shaving Shop) is sweet and I had no problems honing it, in fact it was the first razor I ever honed (Shaptons) Life long experience trough knife sharpening though.

Amund, hope you recover fast from your urethra/kidnet stone treatment. Never fun, neither is the prostate check..

But a kidney stone must be removed.
