    Nice collection Mike. Man, I've got to get some stuff finished. I have a bunch of nice razors but not that many in that kind of condition.

    Here's one you'd like then Mike.

    I think it's a wosty that's been reground as I saw a wedge similar to it and the name was engraved on the blade face but the tang stamp was the same. This is another one I need to just spend the time and finish it. Problem is it's a fabulous shaver. I shouldn't have shaved with it until it was done. That's the best way in the world to keep from finishing it.

    @steve56 : I'm being followed now ? lol

    Indeed, it's not that often that one can get even a tidbit of history behind a razor. Besides, there are a lot of "false attributions".

    Thanks for sharing !

    So, by the look it's a circa 1870 model made in Thiers.
    I have at least one (Chabrol), maybe two similar ones gathering dust for now in my back inventory, waiting to be properly restored. (*)

    It follows that the brand might well be "Chassaigne" but there are a few of them in Thiers during the 19th century (and the 20th). Might be the same Chassaigne as Chassaigne l'Eglise, but I can't find a brand with the matching stamp.
    But be my guest and try for yourself using this wonderful website

    (*) yes, if anyone is interested, I'm willing to part with these. Well, truth be told, if anyone want to try old French razors, I have far more that what I can deal with, so feel free to ask.

    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.
