I have kindly receipt a razor from a friend, it was as 'crappy' as you can see below this lines. The razor was in a Wade&Butcher box, and it seems to have been neglected during several years
It was a french wedge called "Lécollier àNogent", I don't know the history of the brand, I'll thank the information given by you.
I clean and sand the razor by hand and rescaled in thiers issard black resin sclaes. The razor is very long, more than Solingen's 6/8, in this way I bought a Thiers Issard set for it. I know, I know, they can be made from wood, but I am not as talented as some members of this forum, sorry.
By hand it's impossible to clean more the blade before the arrival of the humans to Mars, then the razor keeps some deep pitting, but for me it's not a problem, I like to see that this razor is an aged object.
In the other hand....Fontenille 134 Radium, especial "pour barbe dure" spanish point, engraved spine, what a beauty. The scales let the edge appears and this risk makes me plain to rescale it.
this was the original:
As the other razor, cleaned, sanded, polished and rescaled in cedarwood. I think taht it's not a bad result for a "real handmade" polish.
A shave of the day pic showing the razor
The edge of this razor is as promised in the goldwash (retired in the sanding because it was damaged), is a razor that works very well with heavy beards, it takes a terrific edge.
