Thread: Which stainless to buy?

I've been looking the following Friodur for weeks if not months now: K367 Shave Ready Straight Razor 72 1 2 J A Henckels Solingen Germany | eBay. All seems to be in order to me, but I just can't help wondering why nobody takes it, discounted price and all? To me it seems there's only one razor here, although the seller has other similar items.

That's who I bought mine from. It may be that he is in Japan that puts some people off. I received mine in just four days. It was exactly as advertised and very much shave ready.
It really seems to be everything you want.

I think the original two you were looking at, the Dovo's are stainless. I'm not sure where Ivan is getting the not stainless from. Both are plainly marked. One says Innox on the blade and the other says stainless on the neck.

Personally I have an Aust Stainless and it's a great shaver and it's reasonably priced.

Yes they are, I was mistaken. Didn't see the inox on the blade and the stainless on the shank and misread the number off a carbon-steel Dovo.
All 41, 42, 43 are stainless blades noted in Dovo's catalog.
