Where to buy a Friodur
I'm looking for a 7/8 or 8/8 friodur but can't seem to find one. I remember there was an online vendor selling them a couple months ago but can't seem to find them now and I'm pretty sure I've revisited that same vendor and they aren't for sale anymore. I see some 5/8 for sale but none of the bigger ones. Are they still made or were those NOS razors I was looking at previously? Where can I find one besides eBay, classifieds and such.

You can also get them on ebay. The scales IMO aren't great and neither is the pinning. I've honed a few and found the tend to be in good shape to start and take very nice edges.

Is that yours on eBay? Doesn't say the size but looks like 7/8. Anyways, I thinks I'll get an 8/8 Spanish point with the spine work and the cheap plastic scales then get it rescaled and honed. Thanks

No, it's not mine. That guy has had lots and lots of them, though. IRRC they are 7/8 square point worked back.

The previous posters have given you your answer, I Just wanted to tell you that buying from shavingshop.com has been an absolute pleasure the few times I've shopped there. Perfect Service, good honing and fast shipment.

I agree with you. I've never had a bad shave with a Friodur yet, and it's becoming a go-to razor for me, too. Originally Posted by Bruce
