    Very nice! I love razors with the thumbnotch.

    I'll post another photo when she returns from a rescale job, along with the rescaled Super Gnome.

    Leclerq

    As it came, and then after rescale.

    Big & beefy, shaves quite well!

    Very handsome! Nice re-scale job. What wood did you use?

    I finally picked up a Pradat-Brun razor on eBay. It is a pretty frameback with horn scales, and the spine is a nice shiny chrome. Unfortunately, a prior owner has taken some sort of rotary tool to the blade to remove the mild oxidation. Before I can post any pics, I am going to have to sand out the abrasions by hand, and buff it to a fine finish. I am a happy camper, though.

    The rescale on my Le Grelot 196 is complete and is on its way back to me. So, here is what she looks like now, and the rescaled TI Super Gnome Extra. Work and photos by Max.

    Default Thierrazor

    I just picked up a pretty-looking razor on eBay, made by Thierrazor. Does anyone have any experience with this defunct brand? Here are the pics that the eBay seller had posted:

    I will post more pics once it arrives and I have had a chance to clean it up and shave with it.

    I remember seeing this on eBay. This is probably one of the many brands that once existed on Thiers, France. Great spine decoration, btw.

    Thanks! It also looks like it has a thumb notch. I am a big fan of the thumb notch.
