That's a bit of a beast! Very nice in those scales.
How does it compare to a Friodur?
Enjoy it Glen!

Love it!
Those scales are out of this world!
Do you buy that material or make it yourself?

Funny you should ask that exact question, as I just bought an 8/8 Friodur for myself also should be here at the end of the week... So I will be able to find that out...I am going to try out these two big blades for a few weeks and see if I can't get used to somthing over 6/8 in size...

I've been asking all week, whenever i've seen a Filly post & think the owner has likely tried a Friodur! I'd love to try a Filly. Just tell me it's rubbish in comparison, & save me some cash! Originally Posted by gssixgun

Ben I have honed plenty of the 7/8 and 8/8 Friodurs but a quick test shave does not a judgement make.... Now I will say that to get those Friodurs to shave smoothly takes a little extra doing.... The Filly jumped right to smooth as silk first shave off the hones....
I will post the Friodur after I customize it, thinking Black and Silver acrylics on it.....
