If it were me, I would go with a cheap razor to bring to a frat, maybe even a shavette. In a frat I would expect it to get damaged by someone somewhere along the way.

The Weltmeister is 13/16, i.e. between a 6/8 and 7/8. I like big blades too. And I like the Weltmeister.
Nothing wrong with a 7/8 or 8/8 Friodur either, mind you....:)
I was saying I like using them cus its a fun experience and stuff, but for daily shavign I prefer the smaller blades so....
These razors look like copies of Dovo razors........why would anyone ever want a copy............:rofl2::roflmao:rofl2:
Actually the old Hoffritz were nice shavers.
For me the 7/8 Friodur is an easier razor to use size wise. The 8/8 blade in addition to wider are longer.
Hess 44 are killer shavers.......I mean......uh.......no no no.....they are not good and hard to hone and ugly........

3/8" SS dovo wedge in the classifieds.
Thanks for your input Lynn. I am looking at teh even smaller Friodurs- 5/8s. But I guess I'll take what I can get lol. And if I can find/someone is willing to sell a 44 at a reasonable price I'd love that, but they aren't too common and if they come up on the bay then they end up costing millions gazillions lol.
Aha, I misunderstood.
Well, in that case, and in looking at your sig line, why not try one of these:
DOVO #42 42485 STRAIGHT RAZOR,SWEDISH STAINLESS STEEL - eBay (item 370140872497 end time Sep-03-09 08:12:45 PDT)
4/8, 1/2 hollow, stainless, Dovo.
I had a stainless Heljestrand that was pretty similar to that, and it was a very nice shaver. Stainless, and wedgey? I liked that! However, i don't like the feel of stropping or using anything below 5/8 (and even that is pushing it...). But if you like the small blades, perhaps you can give this one a try?
aren't those 3/8's? I know it SAYS 1/2" but I've only seen them in 3/8s.
Also, I found someone selling a Zwilling. It is NOT labelled Friodur, but they claim it is stainless. It is NOS and looks to be from the most recent production run and comes in a tin.(the Twin Classic line or something). Its definitely not vintage. Is it in fact stainless? Does anyone have experience with these? Lynn and Don- if you are reading this, I seem to remember you were sellign a few, what was your experience?
