I've had this bad boy for a while and finally honed it up today. It's 7/8 near wedge and had a few chips so it took a little bit of work to hone it but it wasn't too bad. Finished it on a coticule and it gave a super great shave. Seems to be pretty damn good steel. Anyone familiar with this stamp? I'm guessing it's French or Spanish but really have no idea.
10 to one it's French! ;) Marin? Someone will know!
+1... Il est le français!Quote:

Veritable (with an accent on the first e) translates to "true."

Seriously, thanks for the info, Rockabilly! To the French, having your marks registered in the Marques de coutellerie Thiers is akin to the Sheffield Cutler's Guild in England. The best of French cutlery was/is from the Thiers region, I understand.
I have several French straights & they are all good shavers so far!
Sorry no info on my end...............
Marin is the trademark, in English its Sailor, hence the little french guy wearing a hat.Quote:

The trademark "Veritable Marin" was registered in 1908, that said you get a good timeline to the OP razor made between 1891- 1908.
