Framebacks. Love em or hate em?
I personally love frameback razors. My swedes are hands down my favorites. They are very well balanced in my opinion.

Just got my first frameback, not the traditional where the blade is inserted into a frame but the type where the frame is an addition to the spine to get the correct honing angle. I love it. It's big, heavy and gives such a good smooth shave. It's a Wostenholm IXL.

Also love the frame backs. I have a Wostenholm IXL also plus a Joseph Rodgers & Sons, both Sheffield steel and excellent shavers.

I believe everyone should have at least one in their rotation.

I fully appreciate the framebacks and faux framebacks.

Never had one. But can't push myself to find one. I just don't like the way they look. .... my € 0.02

I like the faux if they are not too light. The heavy-framed Wostys and Swedes are great!
