Thread: Y.A.R.F. (Yet Another Rescaled Friodur)

Here's another rescale of one of those Monster Friodur Inox scalloped-back beauties. The blade shaves like a dream as is, so absolutely no blade work was done.



I purchased it with these nice looking cracked ice scales, but they needed to go because the blade protruded from the bottom with the razor closed.



Anyway, the new scales are olivewood, finished with several thin coats of wipe-on polyurethane then two coats of Renaissance wax.





The wedge is synthetic horn, pins are brass with domed brass washers and nylon thrust washers - with one additional brass thrust washer as the blade didn't want to center properly at first. Bummer. It's fine now.



Now the blade is well protected, the balance is great, and it still shaves like a dream! I thought it was worthwhile, and I hope you do too.



I was inspired by seeing the rescale jobs many of you have done, and I think it would be great to have one place somewhere to see them all, so if you want, feel free to post a picture (or four) of your Friodur rescale!
