ill look it up in the wiki then:)
sorry, forgot something:
a hammer and a pin in the real size you need for such work.
Loving all the pics I'll wait until my new grelot comes and I'll take a family picture of all my TI's
My two thiers issard le grelots.
My happy shaving family which will hopefully grow by one more soon. http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...ew-grelot.html
TI's are my favorite brand now.
Filly's are my smoothest shavers but overall TI's are beautiful and very high quality and excellent shavers.
I 4 right now and another 4 are in the mail on their way.
I really like my 3/4 Grelot's. After using my newer 5/8ths TI the Le Grelot feels like a sword. :D
I'll post a pic of all my TI's when they get here.
My favorite is the Dos Festonné. Expensive but I think worth it. I think they have good collectors value since there were only so many of the historical forgings made and when they are gone the new ones will be made out of the carbonsong steel which is also nice but different.
I'm still fairly new at the world of straight razors but I can already tell all my TI's are going to be keepers.
I have this razor too but with Le Canadien and it was my most expensive razor but so far I love it. Its a real work of art.Quote:

I've a got a TI Le Grelot, one solid razor
Here are my TI's so far.
Congratulations cadomniel, very nice collection! The most beautiful TI's I've ever seen! :tu

I am new to shaving with a real razor so I went on ebay and purchased a few. This is one I got in a set of 6. Think I might send this one for a professional hone.

My new TI
LeMarchand Paris Twin Framebacks
Just arrived from France, a never honed Le Grelot 151 full hollow that measures 11/16ths. Has a few minor spots, but very nice overall.

Beautiful razor fonthunter! :tu :tu I look forward to reading about the shaves from this beauty.
I can't believe I got my new razor in December and forgot to post about it until now!
The last part of my three musketeers:
My 6/8 Le Grelot -3/4 to full hollow. WITH Ivory scales!
Shaves like a dream just like the rest of the group.
Hmmm for some reason the pics wouldn't add so here they are:

Hmm
No one has bought a French razor in a while it seems:(
Lol I just love the look of them! Someone post some pics or I need to buy more razors!
My newest French purchase:
5/8 LeGrelot Lotus:
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/DSC_0447.jpg
I have a T.I. historic sheffield silver blade, bone scales and payed $285.00 for it. I have been working on getting it to do
a good shave for some time, I hone,strop with diamond paste than give it a try. It took about 8 times before it shaved
as good as my $65.00 dovos out of the box. I wanted to have a high end razor for my everyday shaver but it seems
my T.I. is not my first choice. Maybe I got one they made on friday just before quitting time. Never the less the razor
is a beauty.
Love this blade. Celebration french point 5/8 in ram's horn.

I have two TI's the one in this picture, Spartacus, in Ebony scales and another with the same blade, but with Stamina (Rosewood Laminate) scales, both purchased recently, I really like them
