Felt pad razors have a felt lining on the inside of the scales. The felt was impregnated with an oil. The idea was the oiled pads kept the blade from oxidizing and thus stayed sharper longer.

Oh, I don't think I've ever seen one, in all the years I've been handling and buying them. Huh. . .

It's possible it may have been an oil but my take on it was that they had an antiseptic in the felt. I have another one that says Antiseptic on the blade.
I remember having to make a scale on one because one of three I have had a broken scale. I think I have parts for another one in a bag somewhere. I thought I had information on them & I may but I just couldn't find it at the moment. They were from St. Louis, MO.

Henckels Twinworks Friodur "no stain" 451
It is supposed to be new old stock. My first new razor purchase!
Does "no stain" without an inox reference tell me anything about the date of manufacture?

Be careful of your angle though. The first time I used one my neck looked like a connect the dot puzzle!

Ya. You don't want to bear down! Let the bar guide you. The handle will be super-close to the face as in comparison to a Gillette. More like a Gem! Somewhere in-between, I suppose!
You really should prep and lather for a straight-shave.
Is what it is!Last edited by sharptonn; 09-25-2017 at 03:15 AM.

Yep, It's a regular in my rotation. I'll probably be using it sometime in the next week. Originally Posted by sharptonn
