Unfortunately all my twins are out being honned

I'll have to post a pic as soon ad I get them back

As of right now tho I have a henckels friodur 5/8 in black and white scales. The black scaled one is a new production one and not as good as my nos white scaled one.

I also have a platinum 401 in ironwood scales that I love.

Been trying to win an auction of one of the friodur 7/8 or 8/8 ones on eBay with the fancy spine etching

J.A. Henckels 72½ Friodur Inox 6/8

Hi all,

Here my addition to the "Twin Team".

J.A. Henckels Zwillingswerk AG, Solingen Germany.

Etched into the "stem" of the blade it states 72 1/2: what does this number mean (does it refer to Rockwell hardness of the metal or something?).

It makes a nice sound when shaving.

Kindest regards, Jazor.

Hi Twin Team experts,

Please have look at attached picture of a Friodur I just purchased over Ebay.

It's on it's way to me now via couier.

After buying it I am getting the distinct feeling it might not be a real one?

Reason for this question is that I spotted that the "cut" of the razor blade towards the "stem" is totally different of the one I have or from the ones I have seen so far.

Perhaps it is because of a much earlier production date, perhaps Friodurs sometimes came like this.

Just a kind request to you experts to either put my mind at ease or to confirm my fears.

Another question: what in your opinions is the "size" of the blade?

The auction stated it to be "Friodur INOX Germany NO STAIN 50 1/2" and I don't know what 50 1/2 means.

It can be a 4/8 or a 5/8 and the seller didn't know the answer: information welcome.

Looking forward to your feedbacks.

Kindest regards, Jazor.

Hi all,

Here the latest arrivals to my rotation: two NOS 50 1/2 Friodurs.

After scrutiny they stand up to the NOS status as well as to the genuinity I initially feared for.

Can't wait to try them out!

Kindest regards, Jazor.
