Thread: The French Foreign Laceration

Is this for TI’s only or will you accept other French razors also? I have a Sarry-Thiers Frameback would this count as my entry to the club, but I am also waiting for a SRP TI from Classic Shaving honed by Lynn

A pox upon the exchange rates!

You can say that again!
I'm planning to join this group in a few weeks w/ an SRP razor. I'll post a proper entry after a shave.

I have only seen ti's listed here but since you have one on the way you have your in and if they dont take the other French brands just start another cub all are welcome and cant have to many clubs!

Is this acceptable to join it is French

Shaved today with my entry into this club: SRP LE #197

It needed minimal honing to become shave-ready. A standard treatment on my Belgian combo stone and 50 passes on leather did the trick. It has the "pivot pin slightly crooked in the scales" problem, but it's nothing too severe. Lynn's signature on the back of the blade is "truncated", though: "Lynn Ab..." and it fades away where the machine didn't finish etching. I normally wouldn't care too much since they're hand made, but this is a limited razor--it would've been nice to have the full signature on it!

The Shave: virtually zero resistance; the hairs popped loudly, but it went through my barbed wire beard like it almost wasn't there! Probably the most comfortable str8 shave I've ever had! A liberal splash of bay rum barely stung--that stuff never lets me get away with inattention! I think I'm officially a TI convert--expect to see many more French razors in my rotation as soon as I get the funds!

My LeGrelot Special Coiffeur No. 52.....not a TI but since TI has been distributing the remaining LeGrelot blades since they closed their doors.....here it is! A great shaver, purchased from English....
