Thanked: 1I had no idea. About any of this. I tried and tried looking around on the internet and could find nothing. But then I found this forum.

Thanked: 1At this stage of the game, I would look for someone who can speak and read French to see if any records remain about the maker.

Beautiful product from my home town
The place is still very rural much as it would have been 200 years ago. The place is not far from Stannington where another razor maker Revitt came from.

Thanked: 1I have taken the scales off to clean them up and get all the gunk out from between them and make them look a little better then I'm going to work on the blade. I think im going to leave the patina. What do you guys think. Leave the patina or mirror finish.

Thanked: 4822I would never put a mirror finish on a blade that old. I would clean it well with 0000 steel wool and WD-40 and stop there. Honestly is you look through the forum at pictures of razors that old, they always look best simply cleaned. I would concentrate on the correct shape of scales and some traditional material, like horn or bone.

Thanked: 1Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking is just clean not a mirror finish but I needed a second opinion.
