I don't particularly care for the look but it has always fascinated me that the very early French razors have no monkey tail showing. I always look at them and feel like they forgot something.
Some of those are the most beautiful razors I think I've ever seen. The ones with the heavily engraved blades are phenomenal. Thanks for posting this.

Now you know how I feel when I look at your work!

Thanks for sharing! A couple years ago on ebay there was a beautiful early French razor, huge, with tortoise scales, similar to the 4th picture in the first post, but bigger and fancier. The seller had no idea what it was and was selling it in a junk drawer lot with really crappy pictures. Man, what a stumble.

Very nice! Those French took "embellishments" to an entirely different level!

Some fancy razor indeed. The one that stands out to me is the ring end.
