J A Henckels Friodur Inox 13/16 NOS - pretty hard to beat one of these for easy honing, holding an edge and a close and smooth shave Floid Blue Barrister & Mann Rosemary Peppermint - it is a different scent but also very nice
Hi Lou, I didn't take a photo sorry to say and because it was such a high price razor I didn't even shave with it as sometimes I often do If I like the look of the razor, good news the razor was a walk in the park to hone which is always pleasing.
First shave using this lovely 11/16" Böhler. A very audible shave (full-hollow) but more importantly very smooth as well! Made in Austria; pre-rise of the Nazi government (which forbade the display of any Star of David on German-made goods).
That Bohler Stahl steel is without doubt some of the best steel I've ever honed I sold a razor last year a Eursta Bohler Stahl that had one of he most amazing edges look after that one Kevin that's what I would call premium steel.
Kropp (1899-1923)….tagline 'Ground' in Hamburg, Made in England'—and shipped to America. Sold by American businesses, this blade is stamped, "J. B. Crook & Co., New York" Sweet shaver, I have to admit. One of my few round-point razors.
Another Wostenholm—this IXL from the latter half of the 19th century….nimble little shaver! From the Wostenholm Cutlery catalog, late 19th century…Price? £10.40 per dozen
Lou, I'm in the process of thinning the herd as currently there's about 15 or so in the current 'shave-ready' rotation—which is fairly ridiculous. I've at least another two dozen or so on the bench so obviously, there's too many to be practical for a regular rotation. Some are definite keepers (such as the Böhler pictured above from last Sunday), but most are fair game for sale or trade.
