These are great shavers!A bit late but.......this my Le Coq Adjustable. A bit of a rare and unusual razor. It has no safety bar to speak of or place for the shaving soap to escape from, so frequent rinsing is needed. Made in france in the 1930/40's it adjusts from the bottom and has five positions with no stops[/IMG] [/IMG] so it can be adjusted to any position. A fair blade gap like a lot of razors from this time, ( not as bad as My Leresche 77 tho !!) and a very smooth efficient razor. If I needed to pick my desert island razor this would be it !!
I have a few French floozies including another unusual adjustable.View attachment 31927 View attachment 31928 View attachment 31929

You might like the Olyfa then. Takes regular blades and is non adjustableI've seen some other French DE's that appear to use the same head design but without the annoying proprietary blade notches... I think I'll try to get one of those and sell the Gibbs as I dont use the adjustable feature at all

Just placed an order as well....I recently purchased some replacement springs for my Gibbs No.17 from here www.ebay.com/itm/0-8mmx10mmx15mm-304-Stainless-Steel-Compression-Springs-10pcs/391722382775?hash=item5b347935b7:g:TogAAOSw8AhaR0Gx
This seller was previously posted by another member (can not remember now) who advised that it was recommended on a French forum. I can say the spring works great...
That's the trouble ,now they have become popular again I have seen the price rise by upto 50%, supply and demand !Since getting the chance to try a Gibbs No.17 I have been keeping any eye out for one to buy, but they seem to be sitting around the 100 euro mark.
