Is there any modern stainless with good steel?
Those Friodor razors does have a good reputation. Probably better steel then the Dovo I have.

Good question. I haven't tried any of the others, just seen the problems folks have with them. There are a lot of Friodur out there, though. Mine did take a little longer to hone, but not as long as a hard Swede,

Thanks, all. Good information.
That’s what I’ve got. The Friodur 72 is excellent. Probably my favourite razor. It sits in my hand as if it was made for me.
The Ralf Aust is the only other Stainless razor I’ve tried. That one takes a good edge too. I think both work best finished with diamond paste.
I usually don't like these diamond paste edges, but it might be worth a try with this razor. This steel definitely does not play well with some stones. I tried it on a Naniwa 8k SS. It felt like I honed on a sticky piece of rubber.
Maybe I just gave up too early. I can get a smooth comfortable shave, but I get noticable more feedback from the Alum then I am used to.
It would be nice to have a stainless SR for traveling.
The biggest trouble maker in my life is shaving my face in the morning. So I try to blame myself before the equipment
Amen to that last paragraph!I usually don't like these diamond paste edges, but it might be worth a try with this razor. This steel definitely does not play well with some stones. I tried it on a Naniwa 8k SS. It felt like I honed on a sticky piece of rubber.
