    Default Why don't French razors come with French points?

    So, how come Theirs Issard and LeGrelot razors are most often roundpoints, instead of French points?

    Something Fishy going on.....




    Filamonicas should come with a Spanish point standard too, right?

    Yeah, Good question. My Rodgers has a french point. I know the Brits can't be too happy about that.

    Why aren't "french fries" imported from France?

    Its just a name or a style. It probably has nothing to do with France at all.

    I wonder what a German razor would look like if one followed your logic...

    When I bought my Thiers Issard Le Dandy, I was told it had (hopefully still does ;-) ) a French point. Is this not true?

    Al raz.

    TIs also come in spike points. I have 7/8s sword model that is a great shaver. It requires extra attention however. It's an exrea full hollow. While I enjoy my Grelot B&B LE 1/4 hollow. I think the TI extra full hollows give a close shave with less effort.

    I know you hate searching, but there was already a thread about this. The same statements were made there, though the bit about the German helmets was new IIRC.
