Hi gents.
The razor I'm looking for is here.
It's a very nice Le Grelot, shinny, apparently without any dents or scratches. Has a lovely thumb notch.
Any bets on the final bid?
My guess is around 150 Euros.
Oh, well... someday, who knows maybe I'll get one... Right know I can't buy anything else, I just bought a nice TI. :nono:
I want it.
I want it BAD!
I must say rather an interesting blade etching.
I'm a fan of Orthodox monastacism, as is found on Mount Athos. Yet the blade etching shows not only an artistically done "Athos", but couples it with a picture of a crusader. Crusaders were responsible for sacking many of the monastaries on Mt. Athos on their way back from the crusades.
Interesting.:hmmm:
Crusader? Looked more like one of the Musketeers to me.

I was biding on that one but now I can forget to get it for a reasonable price :td
You used Babelfish, didn't you?:hmmm:Quote:

Beautiful razor. I piced up a similiar one not long ago. It's a wonderful shaver. Ebay is the public!. I have found the French ebay market is extremely competitiive. There are quality razors but thay are fully priced. It will probably sell for at least 100 euros.
its nice but id rather have a custom from one of our bladesmiths
Didnt know what Babelfish was until I just looked it up. I just happened to look at the etching on the blade and recognized the picture.
I was just kidding but it could have been the case!
Sweet looking razor.
I've really been enjoying my 6/8 LeGrelot I picked up on the B&B group buy
A beautiful blade indeed. Very tempting.

Went from $105 to $148 in the last 5 seconds.
Good stuff!

Great razor. There's a lucky guy out there with a nice Le Grelot.
Hey, I got it right at 100 euros! Last second closing bids are the norm it seems when bidding on French bay.
Swiss people are known for their sniping skills :w
Sorry folks but I couldn't resist... I was watching it the last six days before the final - and winning - shot :y
If it is any consolation, at least it is somebody from SRP who bought it. Now, I'm waiting for it... will check the mailbox everyday... :p
I'm glad it is so.Quote:

It is my second Le Grelot indeed :o Nothing escapes your attention...Quote:

Dumas' Three Musketeers was one of my favourite book (when I was quite younger :p ) and I was a fan of the 1953 film with Georges Marchal and Bourvil (Les trois mousquetaires)... the dialogue by the famous Audiard are really good.
I trained my last second shot for this Le Grelot (with missing many other razors or hones...) :gth
I'll keep you posted...
Very cool about The Three Musketeers being your favorite book, and the razor having a musketeer on it.
Hmmm, well now that you have two LeGrelots, you better get a third one too!:D
I know this one isn't quite as nice, but it's being bid a lot lower so far
