Here is my 472, non-stainless - just how I like it.
I have three Friodurs and two carbon steel razors. Friodurs are rarely mentioned in the same conversations with good Japanese but I find them to be some of the very best razors out there. When a new guy asks about getting a good vintage razor I recommend a Friodur. All of the ones I've ever handled were ground perfectly, making perfect contact with the hone. They all take great edges and hold them very long. And they shave as good as anything else you will ever use. But there are a lot of them out there and they are priced right. There isn't much bad you can say about them.

The one pictured is a 72. I have two 72s and a 472. I also have a carbon that was originally relabeled through Palace Hardware in SF as a "Palace Special" and an older #50 7/8 marketed through Graef and Schmidt. All of them are very good razors and easy to hone. Henckles are well respected but seem less coveted considering their quality. It probably speaks to the availability of them.
