I have found a LOT of Henckels Friodur razors for sale, I think I understand the model numbers so that's out of the way. The big question is, is the stainless steel in these razors as good or better than a modern Aust stainless? With shipping cost, it is literally a wash between them. The Friodurs I am looking at are NOS with box. I am looking at a 13/16 round point, a square point(472 I think) and a 5/8 half hollow(something -v). If I understand correctly, these are sized the same way that Aust does. The listings have pictures with a ruler. The other question is, anybody have any experience with these half hollows? They are shoulderless and being 5/8, shouldn't being too heavy right?
Or should I just forget I saw them and get my 2 Aust razors ordered ASAP? This would be a lot easier question if the vintage wasn't so expensive, but maybe it is justified?
