    Default Fredrick Reynolds Faux Frameback

    I kinda like the look of the frameback style blades and I've been wanting to try one for a while. I found this 11/16 restored and honed by Boushie on the bay. I like his edges and he has crazy good prices. It was kind of a no brainer. I'll try it out tomorrow with the Fredrick I recently finished working on. I'll have a Fredrick for each side of my face, gonna be fun.

    Nice Freddy, JJ-I too love the humpback rattler grinds. I've bought several of Leonard's razors; yeah, his prices are unbeatable.

    +1 to outback Boushie. Though you do make it hard to control the RAD.

    Looking forward to my double Fredrick shave.

    If I am enabling your RAD I could raise my prices! Just kidding. I enjoy making people happy and a little extra cash at the same time.

    Finished of my Fredrick shave day with this one on the left side of my face. Another nice edge Bouschie, well done. I found this grind interesting, felt like a cross between a full hollow and a wedge. It's been awhile since I used an 11/16, quite the nimble width. All in all it was great start to a lazy Sunday. Now for a little stropping with the football game on.

    I've got a collection going of these Reynolds rattlers. In general that's my favorite grind, and my Reynolds is one of my top shavers.
