1810-1890 - A century of French excellence
Frameback "Defouges", potential Pouzaux (the brass dot on the back hints to that). An exemple of a trend with scarce examples dating from the early 1800s, it sports both the ability to have a guard ("rabot" or "wood plane" not found with this one) and changeable blades (not found with this one) making these arguably the oldest safety razors with swappable blades.
"Mérite fabricant" a Paris. Probably smithed in Nogent like most of high end late 1800s. The geometry is astounding, with a natural bevel hardly visible. "Mardi" (Tuesday) of an incomplete weekly set (6/7) that just came back from the very capable Thaeris.
Have a nice Tuesday everyone!

Hello sir. Nice to see you again. I thought about you a while back. I got a really good bohea in, grown in Hawaii of all places. First I had heard of tea plantations there.Quote:

And yeah, it's definitely big. An inch at the base (easiest quality Forster bit to source), and the fan shape does a lot in making it look even bigger.
Anyhow thanks for the welcome my friend, hope I'll have a bit more time ahead of me !
