Summary: I was cleaning out my razor display stand this morning and I stumbled on this old F&L razor I had completely forgotten about. It had fallen behind some props so I couldn't see it. The razor was still shaving hairs from my forearm so I just stropped it 50x on my SRD Premium II strop. It nicely passed my HHT. Lathered up with some GFT Rose and boy, did I enjoy the whole shave. The razor performed flawless. I've mentioned Friedmann & Lauterjung razors several times as being top notch quality shavers. If you see one in good condition, don't let it slide. |
As a side note, We are now taking orders for the SRP 2011 group buy - Thäter 2 band 26/55 bulb or fan shape. LINK |
Wishing everyone a safe happy Labor Day WK. |

Result: A close and smooth shave…
This razor represents my first rookie attempt at honing a straight razor. I took it through the entire progression on my Naniwas--1k thru 12k. This was a test shave. The result was quite good, although I think the edge may need a bit more refinement. We’ll see.
