i don't know this...so it's a 7/8..not good news for me because i has spent like a filarmonica for le grelot because i guess that is a 8/8, This does not mean that it is not a good blade ... indeed

my TI that I got is stamped 5/8 but it is only the hone area blade edge to spine contact, not to the back of the spine and it is 6/8 overall.
so at 24mm 7/8 this could be the same plus the 1/8 for the spine so 8/8 overall as I (and most others) would measure it maybe
what a beautiful score, either way I love itGeezer likes this.Saved,

25.4mm = 1 inch exactly, so its a bit short of 8/8.
The easy road is rarely rewarding.

Yeah, 24mm is a 7/8 razor and most razors run a little larger if you count the spine to the total width. Originally Posted by Sterm

Here's the 357 model that I once had (too large for my preferences). I should have somewhere a picture with ruler to see the exact width, but I couldn't find it quickly now: Le Grelot "357" 7/8 - Straight Razor Place Library
Something about the scales tells me they're not the original ones.

It's funny, I have a Le Grelot, that's what's on the tang in italics, and it's a 4/8 frame back...hmmm...how many Le Grelot's are out there...I know it's not a TI. Originally Posted by Substance

Definitely in the hundreds of models, could even be in the thousands. It was one of the two largest razor manufacturers in France and from what I've seen they didn't see any value in limiting the brands and models.

I was tracking this one, very cool, but lost me past $150 or so. Nice razor.
