Faux Frameback

[ChopperDave]

Any special considerations needed for honing a frameback?

On your faux frameback, no. Hone it as you would any other straight, tape- no tape, your choice depending on bevel angle, cosmetic concerns etc.
If it was a genuine frameback then a layer of tape is recommended as the spine material on those tends to be softer than the rest of the blade. This can cause excessive spine wear if not taped.

Thank you!

I just treat my two false framebacks (4/8 and 5/8 Klas Tornbloms) as i do with my full hollows. Taped spines and no pressure.

I don't see where that shoulderless grind is any sort of a 'frameback', TBH.
Seems a normal razor to me?

The first thing you will need is a frameback razor sorry Dave, I couldn't resist. On a serious note, as Tom says, it looks like a normal razor to me.

HAR!

Sorry, Dave! Faux frameback on top. Frameback on bottom!

Hmmmm... good to know. I didn't learned this way first time.
I tought these last pictured razors were both framebacks... a rattler (top one), and an integral frame (bottom), and faux framebacks as one piece bladed ones hollowed to the point to get a sharp transition between the spine and the leaf of the blade, as this: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...ll-custom.html
