Hello! I am looking at a razor, but was unable o find much info on it. Can anyone chime in please? Unfortunaely the rest of the images are not that great...
Thank you for the reply. I dug up some info on it alright. It really is a Jose Monserat. Pre-Filarmonica. Made in 1936. It has 4J and a cat symbol on the rand together with a 19356 stamp. I was just curious if it shaves as well as a Filarmonica. It is a 6/8 blade...
Le grelot and many of the other vintage manufacturers are measuring in a different way than modern typically.
the 14 is routinely documented as a 7/8s on the boxes. the measurement is coming from the edge to the oem side of the spine, not the spine back. that's probably why the ~+1mm on the le grelot is there..
That is pre Filarmonica, I have a couple of these, they are very Filamonica like in the way they shave.
That one has seen better days though, they were 7/8 or so as measure from thickest part of spine to edge.
