Thread: Renodier à Toulouse??

Hello people this will be my first barber 's razor and I will present to you can help me learn more about it , as I found out some things, but little and find more models of the same brand . all I can say about this thank razor. good slashes

Can't tell you much about the razor other than to say it looks like it will clean up nicely and looks to be a near wedge, a nice heavy grind. I enjoy using a razor with a thumb notch like that has. Some of the French members may chime in with more info on the maker.

Renodier a Toulouse was a manufacturer in cutlery mainly razors and surgical instruments,in Toulouse France, like the box, founded in 1850. In 1865 the firm was awarded a bronze medal for their surgical instruments. There is certainly evidence of this firm to be in business as far as 1930's.

the restoration has already begun , I will posting more pictures and updates on the same as you go . until the next

Martin - great history, thanks for sharing.

Rugo - nice old razor. I particularly like the inner faces of the horn (I think they are horn!) scales. Like a lot of french makers, the inner face of the scale was often a secondary consideration, still preserving the rough score marks from the rasp that shaped it.

I also like the fact that the wedge end has been scored, probably to help stop the bone wedge from turning (loads of french scales from this time have a bone wedge, often it turns a yukky yellow colour over the years.

I really like that razor. Right up my alley design wise.

Looks like it is going well.
