Received two Firodur's nr17 from Japan last week. Thay arrived with alot of dirt and the scales where aged in color, the scale inlays where green :D. But After a good clean up with hand sanding on the scales to remove the dark yellow layers thay became like new again. The blades are 7/8+ and have only been factory honed. Here is the result.

Those are lovely MrMagnus. Great looking pair.
Nice! Seems all the Friodurs are in Japan?
Very nice Friodurs! Should we be looking forward to a new shave video?
Thank you Harry!Quote:

They are as good as the Filiarmonicas and DDs that I've owned. In some cases, better. And of all the Henkels I own, I've yet to come across one sour one. Sometimes you come across a razor that doesn't take a great edge, chips, or is ground unevenly. I have yet to encounter this with Henkels and especially the Friodurs. And what a nice duo you just landed!
Nice job on the scales. What grit paper for doing such a job ? Anything beyond the sanding ? Inquiring minds and all that. :thinking:
I wonder if that is the same seller I have been watching? I have been half tempted to pick up 3 or 5 of those but the price he is asking they had better be perfect.
The scales had alot damage in color from laying in the sun. So i had to sand them down to get to the right color. And the silver inlays where green :fim:. I went from 600 grit up to 12k by hand, finish with autosol on a rag to bring up a nice shine.Quote:

Nice find. I like Henckels razors a lot. I also really like my 17. I also really like pairs. I also really like great deals. I think you can see where I'm going.
Gents:
They are just awesome.
