Are all Henckels Friodur's stainless (no-stain)?

I've seen a few Friodur's without "no-stain" identified ... are these stainless/no-stain? Or are there some carbon steel Friodur's out there?

Friodurs are stainless. If you have one, please post it here.

Seraphim, how do you like your Dovo #41? I just got one I still haven't gotten around to hone... heard they're tricky! Are they really?

Are you? I would not have guessed! :) Thank you for contributing your collection to the club. You have amazing razors there, not the typical stainless variety one sees here often.

Well, I had three warped ones, those were unhoneable.:gaah:

But this one was a breeze to hone, and it takes a very nice and smooth shaving edge.

So, just finished working on that #41 and it was actually quite tricky indeed. Had to use a rolling x stroke and the shave was nothing to write home about... it's gonna make a trip on ebay...!:hmmm:

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.

Wow, like I said I have never seen one that bad. If it is cell rot, quite likely is, a carbon blade might have been eaten up even more to the point of falling apart at a mere touch. Definitely not indestructible.
