French Razor
Does anyone know anything about a Georget French Razor. Specifically a frameback with removable blades. I'm wondering as to the quality of the steel and if its a decent razor at all. I'm ready to hit the purchase button and was hoping for any info.
Thanks,
Bob

that happened to me the last time I asked about a Japanese razor, although the purchaser was not from SRP. I went back to buy it and it was gone
I'm guessing by your comment that these may be a good razor?

Almost any razor made before the 50's are good!

The last three pics I just received from the seller. Does anyone have any ideas about this razor?
Thanks

Are those damascus blades?

That's an unusual look
Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage

I was thinking they were Damascus as well, but I'm not sure. Once I have this in my hand I will at least know a little more. Can anyone tell me hoe to tell the difference between Damascus and etched steel?
When this shows up I'll post some more pics.

I honed one where the blades looked like that but it is not Damascus. I hate to say it but it was poor steel. I hope I am wrong.
