    Default Tiny trusses (?) cyrillic (?) razor. Tortoise and silver

    I went outside today after my finals, and stop by a friend of mine, who's got a cabinet of curiosities. He's got razors from time to time, and I like to discuss with him.

    He saw me and said "Eh, I got something for you !"



    Man.... You're actually doing it right !



    The razor is small, 5,7 inches long, tang included, and the blade itself is 5 inches long, tang included (scales are 5,3).



    With an interesting stamp. Don't know if the mark failed or if it's written in Cyrillic ?





    Anyway, I'm glad that I stopped by

    I owe him one with this !

    That's mysterious!

    I think if it were Cyrillic (or an associated script) that third character would be backwards: Ч

    But that's way far away from comfortable base camp on Mt. Know-it-all.

    Another friend told me he had a "Bahic à Saint Brieuc", so it's maybe a clue here for this one

    Yeah, the busted stamp looks like a much better theory. I can definitely see 'BAHIC' being the first line.

    The second one though, pretty definitely not 'à Saint Brieuc'. Were there multiple guys named Bahic making razors? The only one I could find in a cursory and machine-translated search was a guy who seemed to make printing equipment.

    He also had this little beauty, but she won't stay long at my place :



    She's going to take off soon to another's place.

    Beautiful and heavy, I'm glad I had the chance to have one in my hands.

    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.
