Thread: New restoration project, and my first true French point.

Well I don't know much about it I hope to get some info. Well it is a 15/16, has a French point, with a solingen primissima engraving, and Marx & C brand along with a water fountain mark.

I like the blade profile, good luck with the restore!

That is going to turn out beautifully, GL with the restore.
It's an excellent looking razor, love the blade profile.

Here is an update

That's a very nice shaped razor. The fountain mark is the same one from Fontana, Solingen. Excellent razors that take a very nice and sharp edge.

Is the marking on the show side of the toe a heat mark?

No it is pitting, but in no way affects the edge.

As you can see I got rid of some, but a little still remains.

Excellent job. I like a little patina/pitting on a vintage razor. I think it's a classy way to show a razor's age without it looking like a junker, kinda like "salt and pepper" hair for a gentleman.

That's a beautiful piece.
