I have Swedish, French and German razors that have that inscription on 'em

I suppose those razor could have been meant for the French market including the French speaking parts of Belgium and Switzerland. It is also possible I was thinking of "garantie" as being used by a German maker which is the same as "guarantee" in English. I believe it was just a way of advertising they were quality goods for whatever market they were intended for.
