Fellas,
What is this razor? It says either Brossart or Brossard on the tang.

All I can tell you is that it's Brossard with a "D." Sorry I could not be of much help.

How many razors have the wicked little
spur on the shoulder?
Love the shape. It has a French look to me.
I cannot find any information about this razor. There is an entry in the DB for Brossard. Perhaps Manah could shed some light on this?
Now we have the "spiked tang" or maybe the "pointy thumb notch"?Quote:

I had that on my Ebay watch list yesterday I believe, along with several others by that seller, but they all jumped to crazy prices in the last few seconds.
Check this out Gents. Yet another eBay score. I landed a Geo. Wostenholm Perfection. Attachment 99691Attachment 99692Attachment 99693
Looks buffed to me, otherwise nice score :)
Okay, that's the second razor I was outbid on to show up here. :)Quote:

This one is mighty tasty, I have to say! I was kind of relying on having it in-hand to clean up the stamps and figure out who made it, but the style of the blade was sufficiently unusual for me to throw some cash at it to find out.
I'm guessing it's going to shave real good!
Here it is gents. Attachment 99873Attachment 99874

nice razor i got the mapping and web from the same seller

It's a french razor from Thiers it dates from about 1870, the trademark of Brossard is a spoon (cuillière)
Pretty stinking cool eh gents. The Razor Bounty Hunter strikes again.
Gents,
My IXL Improved Swiss arrived today. I am so stoked. Attachment 100001

Wow up until now I have not seen a spine thicker than the tang of a razor.
That looks like it will impart a lot of downward force onto the cutting edge.
Very interesting razor.
