Friodur - I heart u

[drfong]

I bought my first Friodur a month back. 8/8, scalloped.

Of all the straights I have come across, this has to be my favorite.

Performs well, looks good, handles well - I just can't flaw it.

Loving it so much.. looking to pick up another 2-3.

Show 'em if you got 'em!

Wouldn't you know it.. Camera is flat, and my blueberry phone takes awful photos.

So I'll shamelessly link to the images of the razor from the BST thread

Ahh, that looks awesome. Love the inlay.

B&B member Malacoda made it - The scales are made of purpleheart wood. The wedge, logo and 'third' pin are made from yellowheart wood.


He's done a fantastic job.


I'm a fan of straights which use natural materials, and are custom made - especially when a hobbists does a fantastic job.

Here is mine, a 6/8+ I scored from the Bay. That is not etching on the blade, it is engraved. A truly Fantastic razor! It sings songs to me when I strop it (literally the steel rings that much).

Stunning! A Friodur is next on my list...seems like there are a few really nice ones floating around on the B/S/T and the bay.

I'm quite fond of mine.

Love my three!

Vintage 7/8 Friodur #17

Vintage 8/8 Friodur #14 A bit uneven edge but it still hones and shaves amazing.

And my prized Friodur #250

Seeing your thread made me pull mine out and shave with it this morning. Mines an 8/8 with scalloped spine and black micarta scales. Wonderful shaving razor. It even gave me a little nick under the nose as a warning to not leave it so long before using it again.
