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.

Durned if I know! Never actually seen one in person.

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?

If it is stainless it will says INOX on it. If it does not say INOX on it, I doubt very much that it actually is stainless. Razor makers always go out of their way to let you know a blade is stainless.


Why not that Hoffritz stainless? 5/8, 1/2 hollow? Cheap.
