    Hello, Basil:

    That's a solid meat and potato razor. Noting fancy. A good shaver. I like mine a lot.

    Regards,

    They also say they have a full grind one. Have you used one of them?

    I just like to be sure I get a good razor and not a dud.

    Hello again, Basil:

    If I may ask, who are the "they" to whom you refer?

    I have two Le Grelo straight razors, one 3/4 and the other 1/4, and love both.

    Regards,
    Obie

    Properly honed they will shave as well as the finest razors. I think highly of mine.

    Hello, Basil:

    Thank for your note. Yes, Rasupur is a fine vendor and Martin, the owner, is a good person. I bought my 3/4 Le Grelot from him. It was perfect in every way, from alignment to fitting, and it was shave-ready.

    Regards,
    Obie

    I agree with all of the above - I own 2 3/4 to full hollow Le Grelot's from rasurpur and they are very nice razors. They take and hold a great edge and are very comfortable in the hand with the TI scales. Also, Martin delivers them shave ready which makes this a great option for a newish straight user.

    I bought a 1/4 Le Grelot from rasurpur and it is perfect. He delivers them truly shave ready and his service is terrific.
