P. Fritisse in gabon ebony

This is P. Fritisse, Special Pour Barbe Dure 7/8 round point. The blade is quite heavy for a hollow ground razor. It feels more like a wedge. The blade has some nice etching so I could not do an extensive buff on it without removing the etch, which would be a shame. I gave the blade a light polish to clean it up. It was free of pitting and only has light pantina spotting. I decided to put this one in some high gloss Gabon Ebony scales. I used my usual brass over stainless washer set-up and 1/16 inch brass rod for the pins. The wedge is cocobolo and will turn a darker brick red over time. I have not used this brand of blade before. It shaves very, very nice and looks pretty good as well. The blade appears to be NOS with zero hone ware.

Super nice:beer1:! You HAVE been busy!

I love round points. With these scales, I'd put this one in my rotation in a second! very classy, and the curves on the scales are great, really nice lines.
