Thread: The FrameBack Fanciers

I have one of those Engstrom framebacks in ivory scales and its a super shaver. Cuts nice n easy with limited flex like a wedge, but with the agility of a hollow grind - best of both worlds.

That steel keeps an edge for about 30 + shaves too.

I love those Helje. Superb.

Here is my one and so far only frameback butcher:

Recently purchased from the classifieds.....

Well I never considered this a Frame Back till I saw the pics here. So here is my Entry Pic for the club (Is it wrong to try and have a few blades that fit in every club )

Jimmy, that Williams is just breathtaking.

Some long-time veterans seem to think they're great. Is it the unusual looks? Is it the shave? How would you describe their shave characteristics?

Many Thx.

Here is my Swedish Engstrom Frameback.

I picked this up a couple of nights ago on ebay France. I can't wait for it to arrive.

here is my Thiers Issard 69 frameback, this is a great shaver!!
