I bought this beauty recently and it has arrived 10 minutes ago. Very clean and in excellent condition. 6/8 hollow ground and very heavy. I look forward to hone it and shave.

Very nice!
When will it be in SOTD?
Great score!
Thank you rolodave, I will clean it today and hone it tomorrow, then it will be in SOTD friday :)
Nice score
Very much the opposite to mine
Old and crusty, with buggered scales LOL
I am planing to soak it in Barbicide for 10 min(blade only) but I am wondering if blade etching will be gone after barbicide? I have never used barbicide or any sort, sorry if it is an stupid question.
I haven't had barbicide effect the etchings on any of mine so far
but most polishes wil straight up eat etching coatings
Those scales will dye blue possibly if you spill it on them also
Thanks my friend, i will soak only the blade for 10 mins in a jar. No polish needed for now.Quote:

I'm happy for you my good friend. You will love the shave you get from that. You are starting to get some nice razors. I noticed the one you had in the SOTD & it is a very nice straight razor.
Congratulations; it looks fantastic.. You usually don't see the Le Grelots coming off the Bay in such pristine condition.
