It took a fine edge and shaves VERY well!
I have a couple of these, they are spectacular frame backed razors...this list has the various marks of French makers...the #69 is on the list:
Les Marques des Couteaux de THIERS
My newest TI, a half-hollow of the new Basic-Series in more or less unusual scales.
Has anyone seen these scales on a TI before? I just looked at Google and saw some
Peacock scaled Basic TI´s but no white & gold ones like mine.

Here is a small contribution to this post with my Gillet (Paris).
6/8 TI Spartacus rams horn.
I love this razor.

The scales came from Helge in some swapping.
They are stamped "Brevete SGDG" which I have found to mean "Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement".
The French way of saying, 'Patent applied for' .
Turned out nice. Shaves beautifully.

Other french razors need to be repinned :
Cardeilhac à Paris (maybe one of the most beautiful parisian cutlery with Touron) with a coffin scale + a 'L.S. & A Paris' ; it seems this one came from english importers who were based in Paris and have rebranded english batch under their name + city where they lived. Its also exists a 'L.S.&N Paris'.... maybe a family business :D
