I cant tell from the words but it has a French look to it.
I also think that, it has a nive elegant franch shape, seems quite old too but can't find any info about it.Quote:

During the years 1879-1880 Arvet-Touvet succeeded Pierre Mothe n° 3 rue des Fabres.
In 1898, he moved to rue Ferreol and also made surgical instruments.

Thank you very much Ferdi, can you make a guess about the date of the razor?
Before 1879, from what I read.
Just finished it, the rust damage was so much worse than seemed at first. It was not an easy restore but I'm glad I've worked on it. Lots of de-rusting baths, regrinding, sandpaper work and machine polishing. It's quite an elegant model. Has a medium hard steel anf takes a satisfactory edge. Not a wafer thin solingen edge but still works quite well.
