    Default JA Henckels Fridour 472 6/8 - nice spine work + shave ready!

    One my my favorite razors brand/type.. the legendary Fridour type on it's 472 version. Full hollow with a super beautiful work on the spine. This one comes in a super price because altought he blade itself is in SUPERB condition, the scales lost “Fridour” text of the inlay (the logo still there), by the looks of the blade you wouldn’t imagine the age of this workhorse!. These razors are Inox, and can take a super wicked edge with almost no effort on the hones... awesome for everyday use... they do hold the edge and the maintenance is way less taxing being Inox (stainless). Like I said, this blade is in just a great shape! Very very low hone wear and 6/8!

    The blade is Shave Ready (for my taste). Honed with one layer of electrical tape on Naniwa Progression: Chosera 1k -> Aotoshi 2k -> Chosera 3k -> Chosera 5k -> Junpaku 8k, SS 12k, and finished in Suehiro Gokumyo 20K, and then stropped on 0.3 CrOx & 0.1 FeOx (paper strops) followed by latigo strop and then kanayama (40 laps each strop). As I said, comfortable shaving for me (that means, my beard, skin, technique etc…), but maybe some more stropping is required for your taste. After testing, blade is cleaned and a thin coat of camellia oil is applied.

    I only use tracked post for sake and peace of mind of both parties (to be covered by buyer), but no worries! Regular International shipping to the US & Canada is only: $5 (around 30 business days is what the post office give as estimate time, IME it always takes less but I guess this is their max time to be safe). If you want it a bit faster, let me know and I can quote. International shipping rates to other countries might vary just a bit (1 or 2 bucks at the most), please contact me to check.

    Paypal only. Will do my best to ship the next day after payment but else, no more than 3 business days.
    Price: $81
