Thread: Two Friodur Inox Solingen razors

Hello everyone, I need help with my two Solingen razors. Don't know age, condition and price range.

Thank you.

please read the forum rules.

Nice blades, btw. if you want valuations you will have to use ebay as a reference. Those are newer blades but someone with more experience can cvomment on that.

There is no evaluations here. The happen to be my favorite brand. It is hard to pinpoint dates. There are date ranges though. With Henckels we know some of the dates in which logo changes were registered. The condition of these is mint or perhaps near mint, maybe even NOS it is hard to tell that without have them in hand and a loupe handy. That is my initial impression though.


Basically between 1900 and 1950

How nice. I would hold on to the one in faux ivory scales, you don't get to see them very often. The black one is also nice, but more common.

As stated previously, evaluations are not done here. From personal experience, I can tell you that these razors go on eBay for anything between €30 (I have a few) and €800 (someone was greedy enough to buy one).

As an aside, Friodur steel is stainless (aka INOXidable). A bit harder to hone than carbon steel, but these razors are - rightly - renowned for their edge retention. Nice finds. Keep them.

They both are a nice place to start or nice to add to a collection or rotation. Are you new to straight razor shaving?

This is my unexpected catch, here are pretty common but are mostly used. This is NOS same as above.

Another fine razor. They are excellent shavers. The best as far as I'm concerned.
