Thread: Fromm (selling online)

Well there may be some "Made in" Solingen, Germany" vs "Forged in" Solingen Germany thing going on, but I believe Fromm did have some good older razors.

I recently purchased a third Fromm 72R. They're good quality but no frills compared to DOVO or TI. I'd say they are a good value for the price.

I would say don't waste your money. I have that exact razor and it is the worst one that I own. It was poorly double ground, the factory bevel sucks, and it wasn't even sharp enough to open a letter when I got it. The scales came loose on it too. So yeah, buy one if you want to spend a day honing it and trying to put an edge on it.

A brutally honest man and his opinion.

I don't know the name myself but sounds like someone might have had a bad one, or this is the norm..

HEY, maybe you can sell him YOUR razor!

(although, after that stellar review, I'm not sure he'd want it...)
