I have a 8/8 spanish point friodur from john, with ivory scales, it is a monster and it what I pull out to impress my friends, I got mine from John site as well. He is very nice guy to talk to but the razor is not cheap, it shave great and it cut through without irritation, but keep the blade pressure down. The only other razor I have that gives that effect is my le grelot.
