Henckel Friodur without a doubt. Fantastic razors all of them!


Nope that's the way Heljestrand made them.


Sorry to read that. Try to wipe it off with metal polish applied on a q-tip (don't get metal polish on the etching!). After having shaved I dry my razor with a towel, then with a large soft paper napkin (from IKEA). After that I strop it and finally I store it in an airy glass cabinet. For safety measures I also have a hygrometer, that I check daily, in the cabinet.


Thank you for your kindness:001_smile

So I guess the problem is that I now store them in cigar wood box closed.

My pre-1890 Wade and Butcher is my primary blade. Besides honing/stropping and polishing the steel, I have done nothing else to it (I believe that the scales are ebony).

Beter, Flor de Lis

Beter, old straight razor, enjoys prestige in Spain as it matches the Filarmonica 14. Some claim that they were manufactured by Jose Monserrat Pou with the other Beter brand
 
I used a double edge razor and a straight razor for today shave. I have recently got back to my Straight Razor and I am moving slow. It is probably been two years since I shaved with a straight.
