I don't see it. Point is, the guy has a nice Grandmother, and a nice razor on the way. I wish him the best with both. If I think I need proofreading/editing I guess I know where to go.

Iz6, chill out. I got what Ed was saying. Sorry you missed it. You've been warned. Play nice.

Very nice story to the OP. Give Grandma a big hug. I have several Friodurs, one NOS that came in crappy non Henckels scales and a bunch of vintage Frodurs. Each and every one shaves GREAT. With that settled you need to ask yourself which you would be happiest with. If you g with the NOS I would suggest the Shaving Shop as the source. If you want vintage EBay is just about the only place to find one unless you spot one in the classifieds and act quick. You're in for a great razor and great shaves once properly honed. Good luck.

My wife similarly got me a Mappin Lancet razor for my birthday, even though she's quite sure I'm a little 'off' using such a thing.
And just think, someday you might get to pass it on as well.
Enjoy,

I got what Quicknicker was saying and found it quite nice and not a thread jack.

I think my grandmother gets it way more then my wife does probably as this was the way it was done in her day. My wife on the other hand thinks I am a bit strange and does not get the whole ritual that I have now and why I enjoy it so much. My son allready plans on shaving with a SR and says he will use a big one. He is 5 now so I can one day teach him and pass on a razor that was given to me by his great grandmother.

Joed I plan on getting it honed by Lynn I sent my Torrey out to him today and he did my first razor as I bought it from SRD.

Well I just got the razor back from Lynn wow he can make a razor sharp. So I did my normal prep and shaved with the new razor and what a great shave. I think this is my new favorite razor. I had seen someone call these wisher annihilators and were they ever right it just glides right through the beard.
