My First Friodur!
My entry into the Friodur world...and also my first purchase from everybody's favorite auction site! The razor is exactly as described and accurate 100% to the pictures provided. The blade is in fantastic condition, as are the scales. All in all I could not be happier, especially at the price paid (I was expecting to pay a bit more for something so close to NOS). Shave ready as well when it walked in the door. Inox here I come!

My two friodurs are out for honing. I have the 472 round point and an 11 V. I'm excited to get them back. Yours looks like a good one to me!

I hope that yours will turn out as well for you as mine have for me. I have 9 from 9/16 (89 1/2) to 7/8 (17 1/2) and all shave well and are easy to maintain.

You will enjoy that 472. I know I enjoy mine. Wish I had the original scales.

I have to confess, I have bought way more of these than I need. The Henckels brand is my favorite both in carbon steel and stainless. It is a slippery slope so enjoy it, it is your first, there are many many more waiting.

Well to be fair it's my 2nd Henckels. This is my first Friodur and also my first stainless straight. I'm exited!

Congrats! That is a very nice score.
I am quickly becoming a JA Henckels Friodur fan. I have looked at several on the bay, but all I am seeing are located in Japan.Regards;
