    Very nice acquisition, I did find a few interesting things about the Gervais razor. Firstly Anvers(Antwerpen) is a city in Belgium. N. Gervais is for Nicolas Gervais, he is listed in the diretory of Anvers in 1877-1878 as a gunsmith and cutler.
    Jules Gervais was a gunsmith in Anvers as well, since the razor is marked "succ" for successeur or in english successor, im assuming that Nicolas
    was a family member that was trained by Jules.
    Jules gervais work as a gunsmith was truly breathtaking.
