    Lots of really fine razors in this thread
    Here is my contribution to this fine club.

    It's a J.A Henckels 8/8 Friodur with a Spanish point. Scales done by one the members here.

    Here are mine. I love stainless blades, but only have these three.

    The Dovo is a 41 all stainless & was my first blade. Learned to hone, shave & strop with this. Can't remember the last time it had an outing, but still can't part with it.

    The Friodur is a 7/8. It's wearing the first scales I ever made. Ebony with domed washers.

    Finally, the Robert Williams. Tortoiseshell celluloid & 8/8 S30V steel.

    I anticipate lots of Friodurs, but here is a unique 1 of 250 Henckels 250th anniversary Friodur recently purchased from Telly. I just picked it up today so this is Telly's photo.

    Hi there. I was wondering if you would share your impressions of this razor. It looks amazing, and I've been eyeing some Friodurs myself.

    Thanks awfully in advance-

    it is no beauty, and hard to tell if it is any good, but I thought I would take a chance on this EBay friodur at about $30.00. Hopefully it will hone up well and become a great shaver:-)

    Did you say INDESTRUCTIBLE? "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

    My guess would be that it would take a lot, far more than carbon steel, to get a stainless steel blade to that condition. Sure doable although I have not seen one that bad personally. I'd be interested to see how that blade cleaned up in the end.
