So a while back I bought a fixer upper on ebay because it was cheap and I thought I could fix it up:
vintage straight edge FONTENILLE MEDAILLE 134 - eBay (item 110373576391 end time Apr-08-09 19:36:14 PDT)
I maased her (goldwash gone... noooooo!!!) and tlc-ed her and soon she'll be honed, but I never found any info on her. UNTIL... I checked the shoulderless shaving gang and what do you know? Crichton posted a pic of a TI, that except for the point style (his is French, mine is Spanish) is exactly the same! http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ving-gang.html (scroll down a bit, it's one of the first posts. Same file work, same sholderless, same thumb notch, same jimps, everything is the same except scales and point. Is it possible I got a company that was bought by TI, or an early TI, or something like that?Please help.
I put the links in but here are some pics for convenience, I will work on uploading a same style shot of the Fontenille to compare with the TI.
