Just got my Henckels Friodur back from being honed by Phil at The Classic Edge and have to say it is the first SR shave I've had that can match what I can get from my Fat Boy DE. I mean BBS even on the chin and just under it on the neck. I have been SR shaving for 4 months and finally starting to get there so don't give up hope, it can be done. Phil did a fine job on a good razor and my technique is finally getting there too. This was my first shave with a stainless razor and it will be a keeper. Happy camper.
