    Default French razor identification, Colnem C.F

    Hello everybody!

    So I'm relatively new to straight razor shaving...started about 8 months ago. Along with it becoming a passion of mine, I have developed a rather intense case of RAD. I have found that it would be very easy to blindly give into the compulsion and in the end find yourself with a collection made up entirely of German razors...or Sheffield razors. As such, I have looked for interesting blades from various countries; Germany, England, the United States, Spain, and France. At the same time I am trying to pick up various widths, nose & shank styles, etc. ...at least until I fully figure out my preferences. The following straight razor is my first 7/8th and my first French piece. The condition, style, and price seemed right...and I liked that the buyer was located in France. I have not been able to find any information regarding the brand and so I turn to you all. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

    The only info I could find is that the CF is for Charles Frères.

    I then found this link which has a Charles Frères "Nimes" razor pictured.
    Le Retour du Coupe Chou :: Raffin fils A thiers & Charles Frères Nimes

    I don't know if it's linked but there is also a French razor makers called GELLE FRERES
