    Default Belgian Frameback Razor

    Just wanted to share as I don't see too many razors made in Belguim. Scales seem to be made of Aluminum, interesting markings also. The one side has a heart with an arrow through it and some initials. A few light discolorations on the blade that should clean up if I decide to keep it or may pass it off to another member. Looks to have never been honed as there is no bevel.
    The tang markings read:
    E. PIERARD-LEFEBVRE
    A. GEMBLOUX (BELGIQUE)

    Very nice piece. The Belgian Blades are difficult to find but when you get a good one you've lucked in.

    A style common to Japanese blades but a rarity for Western manufacturers. Japanese ones often praise "Swedish Steel"
    Thanks for posting it!

    I've got a Belgian razor that's stamped Ypres. I had to have it as my wife's Grandfather fought at the Battle of Ypres in WW1.

    Cool.

    Looks very similar to a Japanese drawback.

    For illustration, this is a Japanese style frameback:
