Thread: Quiz : a very expensive razor

As for the pedigree, well, it comes from the estate of the "Comte de Paris", the "King that would be", if we still had a monarchy. Sold by Christies, an auction house of very high reputation.
The auctionneers in France are highly skilled professionnals, and the cursus is a very demanding one. I doubt they described the carboard box as being the original box coming with the razor.

(sorry for the late reply, the toddler was struck with a severe tonsilitis, and well, I'm first and foremost a stay at home dad)

This is where my damnable monolingualism really bites me in the butt.

I would really love to have more information about it -- like who the manufacturer was, and if they were making razors in the correct timeframe. It's just that I've seen enough wrong information about razors from very respected institutions that I always look for corroboration.

Respect.
