    Not quite sure the brand, can see it says something but not got my contacts in yet lol

    What really caught my attention though is the sticker on the scale. I like things that as that personal character to a razor. Can anyone make out what it says? I really struggle reading script at the best of times.

    it looks like it says "Pouesnard Rouilly" in the browner coloured ink and "harte haz" in the blacker ink. I would guess that the longer bit is a name but I don't really know.

    Starting to clean up nicely.

    The tang is stamped blin abayeux. Fairly deep stamp but very small font, I'm assuming that it's the name of the owner rather than a maker or vendor. If so nothing on there to identify the maker which is a shame. I love the geometry of this razor especially around the heel and tang, nice mix of straight and curved lines.

    Who knows what the other side of the blade has in store, may be something good. Most every razor ive owned ground like that has been a higher end brand though. Good luck!
