Awesome razor Chris! :cool: I want to get some Swedish Steel in my rotation and those Heljestrand's are excellent shavers. Probably my next target razor. The scales and brush match perfectly BTW! ;)

Thanks!! I picked up a second Friodur off the 'Bay and sent it to Glen for new scales. This one is slightly different from the other Henckels I have in that it's a square point while the other has a Spanish point.
Here's it is with the old scales..

Glen, you are a Master Craftsman! http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/smilies/ouch1.gifhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/smilies/ouch1.gifhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/smilies/ouch1.gif Outstanding work Sir! http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/thumbup.gif The Tiger has never had such a keen edge and it shaved as smooth as butter. The new scales are beautiful and the blade is brilliant! Well done! http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...s/thumbup1.gif I will show the before and after shots. (Sorry for such a crappy photo today.

Made this brush over the weekend with my brother in law. He showed me how to use his lathe and I think he was having so much fun that he ended up turning this brush almost to completion.
