Thanked: 159As per requested: Cardeilhac, Paris, circa 1815
A few months ago, I called for help because these razors disappeared on their way to the best French old razors restorer.
As promised, and as a thanks for the help at the time, here are the pictures
Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

Thanked: 159
And here is what achieved to hook me at the time, these symbols represent Love ("Amour"), faithfulness (the dog) and the gift of frienship ("Don d'amitié")
Please mind that I deem myself not worthy of these razors, I would like you all not to make me uncomfortable in the comments.
In the event of my demise, they will be offered to a museum.Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

I don't know what would make you uncomfortable, but these are rare, beautiful and functional.....I for one am extremely thankful that you posted the pics of razors that otherwise I may never get a chance to see. I think it is an honorable act to offer these to a museum. They definitely look like they would be at home in one. It seems that there were multiple craftsman engaged to make these extraordinary razors. Again, just looking at these is a privilege. Merci
I may have seen these at an auction site some time ago but the pics did not do them justice, yours have."Call me Ishmael"

Thanked: 4830Those are pretty spectacular. I can't imagine having those. A museum is the place for those when you are satisfied with your time with them.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
