Thread: Does TI a French company make a French Point Str8?

I was shaving with my MK24 yesterday (a french point str8) made by a Swedish company. And I started to wonder did TI a French company every make a French point straight razor? Does anybody have one?

It would make sense for a French company to make a French point str8. Surprisingly in my 3+ years of str8 shaving I have not seen any? Have you?

From my experience, they do not. They sometimes make partly rounded points but not the conventional French point.

That's assuming the French came up with the "French point." Sometimes nomenclature just doesn't make sense.

The French did not invent french fries? I figured they did. The fries I've had in France (or at good French bistros in the U.S.) have been superb.

Belgian maybe. The name was probably from Americans. The French didn't have anything to do with any of it.

In Denmark we call generic white bread made from wheat "Franskbrød" which means, bada-bum... "French Bread".
They have done things that none other have before them, but I don't think they were the first to make bread from wheat

Strangely enough, in France that particular razor tip profile is called the Norsk Notchless.

Slightly off topic but I recall hearing that french fries are called such because of the manner in which they were traditionally prepared.
