    I have a 6/8 Le Grelot 1/4 grind that I really love - one of my two first straights -; the Le Grelot is an excellent shaver: a wonderful blade, a good balance, and even the plastic scales are quite nice (on Martin website you can find Le Grelot with horn or wood scales, but far more expensive). I thing the one sold by The English Shaving Co is the hollow ground; but I would expect her to be as good as the 1/4! So, I would say, go for it...

    It's a fantastic razor and a great value. I reviwed some months ago and many others have purchased it as well. It's a full hollow, close shaving razor. It takes an edge easily and is well balanced. It's mass plows through my beard. Don't miss the opportunity as they are in limited supply.

    I would like to thank you gentlemen.
    Just ordered one in fake ivory, £52 I should buy their remaining stock, wait a year, then punt them out on evil-bay for a ton a pop!
    But, I'm not like that........................

    I'm a 1/4 French (my palate and my politics)...... so I have to have a new French razor, they have to be the BEST, they are French Non?
