My new 7/8 Friodur

I bought this razor a couple of months ago, and it was advertised as being NOS. The person who I bought it off of didn't hone it, so I'm assuming it came from the factory in the condition that I received it in. I put it up when I got it, and yesterday decided to take it down to evaluate the edge. For grins, I tried a HHT and it passed quite easily... So, I decided to strop it on my Chrom Ox followed by the linen and horsehide strop and try it out.

I was pleasantly surprised by the resulting shave. It provided a very smooth BBS shave with no irritation on discomfort. When I get around to it, I'll send this dude out for some nice scales and it'll be set.

Just thought I'd share.

Nice razor. :) I like the scales, especially since it's NOS.

Thanks guys. I like the scales too, they are nice and tight and well constructed. However, this razor would be phenomenal with some of the scales that Max, Glen, or Alex have cranked out. I'm really pleased with it!

My dear Richmondesi,

Plain and simple: that Friodur is a delight to look at. And that it shaves like a champion razor makes it even more of a great find. Well deserved, sir.

Regards,

Obie

I have that same razor I just got a 7/8 also, I am waiting to put scales on it too HA !!!!

I haven't even touched mine yet though, let alone tried to shave it... I love the 8/8 I have though so this should be close...
