    Oh, by the way, some of the best people I know are drunken sailors from Salamanca.
    Nothing smells worse, I assure you Those things fresh killed are super stinky. As they rot? OH! We have been known to flip them over with a stick an put a Lone Star beer bottle on em. Best roadside attraction ever!
    I dated a girl from Salamanica. She had a strange odor!

    I've been watching for a French razor to add to my pile and have yet get one.

    I like the heavier grinds the French used "back in the day".

    The fact that yours turned out so nicely makes me want to intensify my search.
    I know what you mean, Wullie. I have three vintage French razors — plus a bunch of Thiers-Issard models — and find all superb razors. Yes, they are razors worth the search.

    The Le Grelot I have are not at all the same style, that one makes me think of some German WW1 gear, sort of heavy, clean functional style, even that Nr "63" fits right in... hmm, now I've come to start liking it!
