the reason is to avoid the toe to sleep on the edge.




Here is a picture with other old french shaver from the same period, note the "Guerre à Langres" with the Royal Scepter from the first restauration of 1815, (before during the Napoleonic time it was an ottoman stick of command with the cressent, because evry reference at the royaltie power was strictly banned) and one of the most ancient razor maker of Thiers DUMAS from 1815 1820, you can also notice the shap of the scales typical from the 1800 1820 area, with large washers.
