Frameback nomenclature
There are 2 types of framebacks that are essentially quite different but still have the same name.
1st type is the frameback having a tang that is part of the frame and a blade that is slid into the frame and tang entity.
2nd type is the frameback with a blade and tang in one piece having a frame slid on the spine of the blade.
Why don't we have different names for each type?Fikira likes this.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.

I think the first type you mentioned is actually a frameback razor and the second type is referred to as a faux frameback razor.

A faux frameback AFAIK is a straight made of one piece of steel, ground to look like a frameback.

Yes, you are right, my mistake for not reading your post correctly. Too early in the morning for me I guess.

The one piece razors have an augmented spine, so why not call them augmented spine razors??

I am wondering which came first/was the original frameback type. The original should be called a frameback and the other could be called an "augmented spine" frameback or an "Interchangeable blade" frameback depending on which came first into production. Anyone have any idea which was produced first? Originally Posted by Kees

I think, not positive, the other name for one piece frame back razors, depending on the style, is the Rattler grind, like this:

Isn't a "faux frameback" razor the same as a "concave" razor?
