    Default A LeCoultre not-frameback

    Everyone has seen razors from Jacques LeCoultre, typically multi-blade framebacks. However, it is unusual to find one that is not a frameback. I've yet to really research this one, but it is odd. The point style is very similar to razors from Pradier, pictured at the bottom for comparison.

    Great find, not very common for sure, i suspect the A is for Antoine, very interesting family business.

    I see an S before LeCoultre, so I'm assuming it's still Jacques.

    Very nice find. That one is different for sure! Not like the ones with interchangeable blades. I love it. It is unique!
