My latest, already in the Show and Tell. French, c. 1830s I believe. Manufactured by Pradier, 22 Rue Bourg l'Abbé, Paris.

And a near-original LeCoultre set with 4 blades (still in the paper packet in the case).

I'll add a pair of MOPS Keen Cutters. The scales pass the "click" and pin test.
They may be new blades in an old set, the box is very old. We had a lot of Scandinavians around this area. They had gorgeous scales on their razors. I came upon these by accident. All the good ones, the dealers say, are gone.

Sweet, Richard! One of my recent restores is this pair of Wade and Butchers. Unusual pair!

I rest my case.
