Thanked: 127Since i started shaving with a Straight i was fascinated by Wedge Razors but had massive Problems shaving with them.
These two i like to show you changed my Problems with wedge-shaving and turned them into a real pleasure, both arent
Razors that might make a Collectors Heart Jump (especially those collectors who prefer High-Shine Razors) but i like it, when they show their age and history, IMO to much polish degrades a classical Razor into a piece of polished steel.
Both Razors are near Wedge and possible made of the same steel, honing was easy & quick done, two "willing" Razors on the Stones.
Shaving with both is similar, HHT was no Problem, the Vauzy is more the easy-going type of Razor while the other one is a bit more speedy on the skin and in the Hands.
This was the first Wedge i had satisfiying shaves with, a Cercle Syndicat de. Coiffeurs dela Seine in 6/8"+ with Horn Scales (i love these french Baguette Style Scales) that are a bit to short for the Blade how you find them often on older french Razor. Had to shorten the Bone Wedge to prevent the Point from aiming it.
And this is my special favourite, shaved with it five days in a row, couldnt imagine that this would be possible with a wedge before the Vauzy (a Brand of the better known Vincent Cutlery with its Veritable Vincent Brand from Thiers) taught me better :-)
Scales are made of Horn, the Pins are made of steel with Brass washers possibly around 1880.
