Day 6 of my journey through barbershops.

Today, my wife and I celebrate our 14th Anniversary. So for today, I went with my wife’s (and possibly my) favorite barbershop. Along with the Iberia 14.

I just recently made and installed these new Weru scales and topped it off with a brass wedge. I’m loving the look and feel.

The Frameback saga has been pushed back 1 day.

Day 5 of my journey through barbershops.

The Barbershop.

This little Frameback belongs to u/souleater7173. He sent it to me for honing and this was one I didn’t want to miss out on trying.

It’s a cool little razor. A 1st Gen Frameback from Sweden. Framebacks were originally made in Sweden starting in the 1870s as a way to compete with Carl Friedrich Ern’s Hexe machine, which allowed for the mass production of full hollow grinds.

A thin blank of high carbon steel was forged and given a small wedge taper so that the edge could have a thin, full hollow feel. An additional piece of steel was then added to the spine to increase its width in order to maintain geometry from spine to bevel for a shaving edge.

Eventually, a 2nd generation would be born from this original idea. Stay tuned tomorrow for the continuation of this saga.

You most certainly do!

Vote is in! Thanks for the nudge
