Thanks my friend.....................I leave the rest at home for my dog to guard. He's 80 lbs part Pit & part Lab & he don't like no one but me & maybe a couple of brothers!

Oh.........BTW, Tc as I recall you keep your others in a safe & I was really awful sorry that one broke when you were putting it in your safe. I know ya don't carry your safe on your scooter or ya couldn't go fast! Thing is, I don't have a safe but I got the next best thing as long as no low life comes around like they did 13 years ago & poisoned my dog to get into my house & rob me!!! That really tore me up & I wanted to get those guys & feed 'em some poison & watch 'em die a horrible death like my dog did! I raised him from 6 weeks old. It bothered me so much, I didn't get another dog for over ten years but I finally got me another faithful friend. You can see him when ya click on my profile & that isn't a selfie pic either.
As ya know, US bikers gotta do what we gotta do & I'm sure your scoot is fast like mine because mine sure isn't slow & I twist that throttle whenever it needs be. I've had plenty of speeding tickets on it but not lately thank God. And as bikers, we look after our own kind plus our friends here on the forum! If I remember right, Wullie is an 'ole biker & I'm sure a few others..........
Ride safe my friend!

Do most framebacks such as that design have it where the blade slides out?

There are as many frameback designs as there were manufacturers. Some had fixed blades and others had various mechanisms to lock in and release a thin blade. I would guess that the idea was to minimize the weight of shaving equipment for those on foreign duty and in the military... many countries existed where a shave was the colonial's leg up in the society. The later Henckles, Rolls, Wilkinson and other double hollow ground blade SE's were of probably for same concerns.
Any guesses count when trying to understand the how and why of things.

I just got my first frame back, and the blade seems welded into place. I am just starting to learn about these, I did not know until today that some had blades that could be removed! Thanks for the information Richard

Most are fixed, removable blades are more unusual.

Willis, yes! I know for sure because I had two Swedish framebacks that had the blades slide out but I gave one to a person here I consider very special friend! This is it here;

If he cares to share it with us, he will & if not, I respect him very much for that.

This is my other one I have. It isn't as good as the one I had because you can see the marks on the part of the spine where the blade slides in where someone tapped it to tighten it up. It is also more worn at the makers mark.

That is pretty nice razor..... Interesting how they vary in being removable or not. Set screw or just slide in..
