I always enjoyed my Le Grelot razors. I have had a few and regret not keeping at least one. Fine specimens are harder to find these days.

Lovely pair Steve, especially that worked spine.

A very interesting thread, gentlemen. Thank you to all the contributors. I now have a desire to track one of these down.

I'm a bit of a Francophile. so this is something I am surprised I have not done before. And the stars must be aligned for this because only yesterday, i ran into a Frenchman at a local restaurant. His accent was obvious since you never hear French spoken in my area of the US. I speak French, and we had a wonderful conversation. He said the same thing that all French nationals say to me when they hear me speak French. He said that I have a Canadian accent. My high school and college French teachers must have been from Montreal.

Anyway, I'm going to start hunting for one of these razors.

Hot damn, I should be on etsy more, once again some Touron Parisot (which are, I say it again, among (if not THE) the most beautiful French brands) that slip through my fingers Very nice find !

Merci beaucoup mon ami. Je vous ferai savoir.

I will hunt around for a razor for a week or so. Hunting is half of the fun. If I can not find anything, I will let you know.

A bientot!

Merci mes amis !

Alfredo just re-scaled a pair of Le Grelot 355 for me in tortoise Kirinite. I’m waiting by the mailbox.

Too late! I am out here with my lawn chair!

Nice!

I haven't seen any in great condition for a long time. I saw one a good few years ago that was mint but didn't go for it because I'd just brought another razor. Kick myself for not just buying it.
