Thread: Help identifying straight razor

The razor may be French so I would PM forum member Chawing with a link to this thread. Ask him if he can say what the D crown F means.

I will look for the forum colleague

Hi there ! :-)

I'm not too sure that's a french razor. It does seem to be written "acier forgé" on it "forged steel", but from the overall look, I'd say that could be a double-bladed straigth razor that's missing a blade.

Papillon

From the 1815 years, english production. Not too goods shavers, but still historicaly interesting.

That's the kind of blades I like to buy, but I wouldn't spent too much money on it.

Hi,
You may be right, it is possible that someone has removed one of the blades and repeening (sorry I don't know if it's the right word ).
Anyway I find it hard to use without the tail.
