    Was it the same brand razor? Hopefully the steel is good, If not Ill be trying to find someone who can make a blade for this, or I'll chop up an old handsaw and try that

    Sorry, I do not recall the brand. But the idea of having some blades made for it is a good one!

    Hi there!!

    Your blade is gorgeous!!! I am jealous now!! ;o)

    All I found is that it could be from France of course, (for the exact location, you may give me some precision about the markings, I just can't read it from the pictures) made by Maurice Georget and if so, you should find an archer or an angel on the shank... no datation sorry..

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for the info, as soon as I get this in my hands I'll see if there are any other markings and get some more pics up.

    Default Frameback replaceable

    It is a shame about that one blade being so badly nicked. There is a slight possibility of making it shave, however, because the blade is uniform thickness. You could just file the edge down and then re-establish a bevel.

    The shape will be the difficult part because it needs to mate with the frameback, but I think it is possible, and worth a try. I could be wrong though.

    I have a Jaques Le Coultre frameback with removable blades, and both blades are good. It is a WONDERFUL razor that shaves extremely smoothly, though that smiley edge takes a little getting used to.

    I bet you can make this razor work.
