Thanked: 1587There are so many things wrong with this thread I simply do not know where to begin.
First, why are we infantilizing straight razors? Even in jest, it is just wrong.
Second, although I love my Friodur, I would argue that "German" and "rock solid quality" do not necessarily go hand in hand, unless by rock solid quality you are referring to German razors handling like a piece of rock.
Third, if I catch anyone referring to any Sheffield razor by any cutesy name whatsoever, I will make it my mission in life to hunt them down and make them pay. So, if you feel the need to start adding "ey", or "ie", or "iddle" etc. to the end of any Sheffield manufacturer's name, just remember Jimbo: it rhymes with Rambo, he wrestles salties, and he loves his mummy country.
James.
NB: Most of the above is tongue in cheek. But don't push the Sheffield thing.....<This signature intentionally left blank>

Earlier I was thinking of how funny "Renaldi" sounds. Ra-NAL-di!

Thanked: 1903Thanks, guys. Honed it today, and it shaves well. Very well, in fact. Tried to find out about the approximate date of production. Still confused but on a higher level. Seems like it comes from the last line of the original production. The mirror finish doesn't have the same high quality as that of the older ones, and the logo is etched, not embossed. Still very nice.
