Flea market finds from today:



I suppose all of french origin.



"Martin" with horn scales



"Per.. Montluc....", wood scales



"Durani Brasset. 22", interesting scales, thought of wood first, but seems to be horn, sill unsure. The small ships in the scales don't indicate wood, examined with a loupe.

Something about the french tip that I like, over all other razor shapes, if using a square tip I end up with cuts everywhere.

Hello Hatzicho!

Yours razors have probably been made in Thiers in the 1830's, I would say the first and the third are the oldest and probably belong to the same period. The second done is a little bit younger.

On french razors missing tail is not serious clue to estimate a razor age. Even in the late 19e century some manufacturers were proposing this option(no tail).

All yours razor's scales are made with horn

The third one is a Durand-Brasset 22. This manufacturer won a distinction/Award for his work in 1827.

I also have a razor with the same stamp:

Really like that Martin razor...

Thanks. Fantastic price. I've been wanting a Bengall and a stub-tail for a while. But, I try to be frugal. This one, well, when I saw where the bidding was with less than an hour to go, I knew I had to give it a shot

here is a little album of the stubbies that i have found
