    True, I understand context is everything. A lot of the blades I can see on the SRP are exotic to a French eye said the other way around.
    Now, as for availability, if there are people here who would actually go for a French FB, things can be arranged lol

    Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

    What I was trying to say was large frameback are uncommon. Also very large French made razors are not very common. I have had two French framebacks. Both of them were 5/8, both of them were excellent razors.

    Yes! Thanks you to all that participated in this thread in an effort to get to the bottom of this!

    On the face of the blade the original design is still there, but it can only be seen with difficulty in the right light...I can’t capture it in a photograph.

    It has on it, “LE HYALIN,” and underneath “DEPOSE.” There is also slight scroll work on either side.

    So likely from the 1930s...quite interesting! I still have not yet gotten to use it. I have been so enamored with my Wacker Old Sheffield, that I have been ignoring everything else!

    Thanks again!

    Also, “suedois” from the ad means Swedish...so I do believe that this is a 7/8 Swedish Steel Frameback, which makes me quite pleased! Thanks again for the help gents!

    As here, in many French catalogs the term "Swedish razor" means a frameback and that has nothing to do with the nature of steel.
