Thread: french razor

Hi Guys, i have just aquired a lovely looking and shaving french razor, i was hoping to find out a little history as i do with what few razors i have.

The makings on the scales are like marble effect with a brass inlay, in a diamond shape the words wonderful reg are inlaid,

on the neck on one side is garantie solingen and the no 315, on the other side is P.VIELLERIBIERE ST LEONARD.

I am of two minds the inlay looks very art deco but with no country name i thought mid - late 1800's.

not interested in value at all just history and background.

On the blade very faint is solingen .

if some kind folk want to tell me how to post a picci i will do.

ta any way

This recent post covers the posting of pictures. Your blade sounds German made for a retailer.

hopefully we have pictures.

That is an interesting pattern of hone wear.

i Dont know what you mean, ;^)

I have only just got this razor, gave it a quick rub on the old oil stone and then stropped it and it shaved lovely.

It's made in Germany for a French retailer.

With a frown like that I'm not sure I would be using that.
