Oops

These will be fun to play with! I’m always looking for new nagura to up my Jnat game. We’ll see if they live up to their Koukyuu description!

I'm adding Swedish steel to my meager stable of razors. This looks to be a really clean example of a Henckel Friodur 70 ½. I look forward to honing and stropping and putting it to good use.

Erm. I think Henckell is a German brand. Super great razor though. I have one quite similar to this one and it’s a terrific shaver. It’s feature is it is a cryogenic treated blade.

Boy, did I goof that up. Misspelled it, wrong attribution, the works. Thank you for the gentle correction, Rich.

Been watching for one of these for quite some time. I really liked the way the one I sold to @BarberDave shaved, green is a good consolation for blue.

Well, this got here faster than I expected.

Where's the picture of your hand against that one....for comparison?

That's not what I thought he would use for comparison.

I have one of those with the black horn scales. The scales are shaped differently, and it can be a bit awkward, but a great shaver.

I'm given to understand that these Dorko 43s are likely from the early 60s and perhaps have ivory scales. I can't make out any Schreger Lines from the photos, so I can't be sure until they arrive. @Majorrich can you shed any additional light, by chance?

Those look great! Generally by the ‘60’s not a lot of ivory is making it to razor scales. What do you think @Luecke3262 ?

 

[Luecke3262]

They are too thick to be ivory, so either an ivorite or bone. You didn’t see thick ivory after the 1910’s and if you do it is ultra rare. Granted it is possible, but not likely. I’m so glad to be enabling you to buy such fine pieces of shaving history. You’re gonna love em!
