John,

I know the site and have been looking at the Friodurs - believe me! It's just that I want a Friodur with a worked back and nice scales. Oryx looks great! But all this would cost me a bit, and while currently I'm alright, I need to space out acquisitions. Most of the blades I got were one-of-a-kind deal or ebay, and I figured the Shaving shop isn't gooing anywhere, and there are quite a few Friodurs listed, so it's on the back burner. I also need to decide if I want 7/8 or 8/8 for the Friodur...

Cheers
Ivo
