Flic was a brand of the quite famous Solingen razor maker Max Voos. The razors made under the name Flic were produced for export and a lot of them went to Australi and New Zealand but also to the States. The razors were made in the 1930's. Later the company DOVO took over the brand.
I got a few Flic razors and all of them are exceptional shavers, i.e. better than most of the old Dovo straights in my opinion.

Nice find. I have one Flic razor and I still need to hone it. Yours is fancier than mine.

That's a great looking blade! Not sure what you mean by "use some green polish" but I assume you mean stropping with it to try to bring the edge back. I would advise instead that you try to bring it back with your new hone. If that doesn't do the trick, there are several of us that offer honing services in the classifieds section.

Nice find.
Like my flic quite a bit. Although also not as ornate as yours.
Congrats."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."
