    Default Which would you buy?

    Ok, if you had to buy one, which would it be: A new Filarmonica Double Temple 15/16 (basically a 8/8) or a NOS 8/8 Henckels Friodur Scalloped Back Spanish Point - original Twins &Friodur white plastic?

    What a choice! I think you could flip a coin because both are really great razors.

    Well, ......If I had to make a choice, I'd go with the Henckles and have one of our craftsman replace those white scales with something really spectacular. Perhaps Max -

    Oh, heck, get both!! lol, lol

    Based on a lot of love for Fili on this forum, I would guess the Fili is the way to go.
    I honed my #13 today and got pretty good shave.
    My Fridour is getting some cosmetics done to it before I try it so I can't comment on it.

    Fil Doble Temple, hands down the smoothest of the two, and I'm sticking to it

    I'd get the Filly before they're gone.(even though it's a sellers market).Seems as though the Friodurs will be available for a while.
