Paul, you're the owner of the very nice frameback, that was made by very strange maker.
Strangely is his location.
I've seen his razors before.
As we see on the stamp, the razor was made in Jougne in eastern France. But according all sources: books, newspapers, ads, the company of Adolphe Arbenz was in Birmingham, England at the end of 19th century.

The Russian magazine "Ogonek", 1914:
"... is available in good markets and wholesale of Ad. Arbents, Lausanne, Switzerland".
