Thread: Le Grelot 3/4

Hey guys i was looking online and thinking about purchasing one of these beautiful razor.

Any comments on this razor? i read any reviews i could find but thought id ask to be sure before i bought one

Many thanks

Hello, Basil:

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

Obie

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.

It's a great razor that everyone should have in their rotation!
Very addictive to use...makes me want to buy more!

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.

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

sorry the they i am referring to is the website rasurpur.de

I saw the site and thought i would ask about the razor.

Is the site a reputable one?

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.

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.
