Awesome replies! Thanks for all the info. I feared that the responses would be "you gotta try them all" but thats ok its all part of the journey. I think I like the idea of a bigger razor for my next one and have my eye on a 7/8 Henckels from the shaving shop, here's the link. What do you guys think of those razors? They also have a really nice looking 8/8 French point Carl Rader that looks like it would be a great shaver too but, alas, it is a little out of my price range right now

I have two of these Friodurs made from a recently discovered batch of NOS Henckels blades. Mine were acquired through classified section purchases. One is a 7/8 Spanish point with worked spine rescaled in G-10 and the other is a 7/8 square point with plain spine in Robert Williams wooden scales. Both are frequently used great shavers and are easy to keep shave ready.

I was actually thinking of getting one of the two you mentioned you have and rescaling it with G-10 as well. Do you like the look of your G-10 scales? As well as the weight and feel of it?

I bought the 7/8 Spanish point from the classifieds and think that it is the following one originally from Maximillian. I have also included a photo of the 7/8 square point obtained from the razor's source on the classifieds. I like the G-10 scales originally from Maximillian, the fit and finish is excellent and the balance is fine.
