Looks to me like it might be a Le Grelot Le Hyalin Thiers France. It fits the style and I've seen others out there with similar number markings. I've seen a 301 and 300 marked with the F.F paris as well.
Clean it up as these seem to be desirable blades!
Nice catch. Looks like it will clean up well. Let us know how she shaves.
Haza, welcome.
Brooksie seems to be on top of it;
next time, do old guys like me a favor & include the markings, script on the razor in your post narative. It's hard to make out the writting, in the photos alone. I enjoy the hunt through the internet on identifying razors.
Thanks for sharing yours.
Many thanks for your answers.
I would like to apologize to Hirlau: You're right! next time I'll follow your advice... sorry again.
anyway on the blade there is a gold losange with the words "Hyalin" and "Salon"inside it, in a tang side is stamped "F.F. Paris" and in the other side "N° 303".
@ TrilliumLT ... I hope to try it asap ... I let you know my opinion about this blade.
@Brooksie967 thank you for informations, any ideas on age? the woodenbox seems to be the early twentieth century But, of course, I'm not sure ..
thanks again ... hope my english doesn't sound too weird :)
Your English is much better than many Americans :)
And far better than any Englishmans english and sounds almost too prim and proper compared to Australian english! :)

It looks a hell of a lot better in your other thread, even with the dark pics.
