Does J.A Henckels Still manufacture Straight Razors?
Hello All,
I wanted to invest in a nice quality 2nd Straight Razor (I currently have a Dovo which is great) and so i know Henckels from their Kitchen Cutlery and that they used to make classic razors but cannot find any newer productions, do they still make them or is getting a vintage razor my only option?
thanks

Yes they do, but not of the same quality as the vintage ones.
You can find NOS vintage Henckels (fridours mainly) at great prices.Stefan

Is it spelled Fridour or friodur? I find more google results under the second spelling but I have seen both all over this site!

The antique store Henckels I found delivers a superb shave (after introducing my newest addition to the Hone side of the family of course). I can't however, comment on their newer ones.

the newer ones look a little thicker and clunky IMO... I like the older fridours...
