NOS Henckels Friodur Inox No stain

I called with Jamie (Celticcrusader) earlier today......drooled all over his razor collection, and picked up this rather nice 5/8 Friodur

Good purchase on a beautiful razor. I decided to upgrade my herd and as I hopefully purchase some good quality razors I will let some others go.

Nice razor! use it well.

Very nice Friodur you've picked up, shoulderless to boot.

Great pick up, enjoy and thanks for sharing.

I believe thats a 50 1/2 yes? I have 2, some of my favorite shaves! Love the old Fridurs :tu

It certainly is..........although I am not 100% sure of the relevence!

Nice razor, I think that you will enjoy it. I have five Friodurs, two 5/8 (70 1/2), one 6/8 (472), and two 7/8 (one Spanish point, the other a square point). They all shave well and have no rust or waterspot issues.

I'm not sure if ANYBODY knows exactly what the numbers stand for. Other than "Great Shave"

But dont kid yourself that they are stainPROOF. StainLESS is exactly right. make sure to dry them before you put them away just like any other blade. not only the steel, but the celluloid handles will appreciate the proper care!

i have a 6/8 472 that i need to get some scales on .. it was my first SP blade and my first SP slash on the face ...lol.. but i still love it ...lol

Nice henkels friodur.
I have a NOS one from the old friodur razors also, but it's a 7/8.
Enjoy your razor!
