    Default Frederick Reynolds FBU French Point

    Just got this back from Glen. He was able to mostly just clean it from what I can tell as the finish on the blade looks original still. There were a few spots of rust and pitting you can’t even tell were there. Scales are original and were in really good shape when I found it. Any ways now, for your viewing pleasure:

    Dang! That's a beauty!
    I don't think I've ever seen a Freddy FBU that nice. And a French point, one of my favorites.

    I’m hoping my boy takes an interest in straights and wet shaving so someday it and a few other things will become his.

    Can’t get my son interested in straight razor shaving. He’s 45 now, so not likely to happen.

    Guess my stuff will end up on the ‘bay or in an estate sale when my time comes.

    Wicked blade, excellent restoration.
    I love French points too.
    You are lucky

    Neat! I have seemingly the same model but in a small size.

    Very nice razor. I am probably part of a minority on this issue, but I like the way it looked originally better. A little bit of patina gave it more character.
