Parker 26C arrived today, this is my first ever open comb razor so excited to try it out when I have a bit more growth to mow down!
some times ago I bought a Petard set to test a new restoration process for liners.
I tried to get some info about Petard razor and I found on the web a very interesting post by thomas (Cha-wing!! here on b&b).
Les rasoirs D.Pétard - http://www.rasage-traditionnel.com/t13651-les-rasoirs-d-petard
here you can find a lot of interesting info.
ciao,

I am still wondering if the shim was made that way to fit the razor, rather than the marks being caused by over tigthtening. The curved markings on my shim appear to be a part of the manufacture and I think they were present on the shim when it was brand new. In other words the shim was made to fit that specific razor. I cannot say for certain of course but it looks that way to me.Thanks Andrea, I'll need Google Translate to be able to read it but now I've seen the razor that's responsible for the indentations in the shims.

Fine looking piece of hardware right there.Lupo 95 with the dlc halo handle came today. I also grabbed a haloed ufo handle. Works of art as well as a solid tool. Welp, no more typing, off to shave.

I picked up a Red and Black in pretty remarkable shape earlier this evening:
Spent $30.
Even the case is in pretty nice shape, considering the age of the razor. There is some tarnish on the inside. But overall, I'm quite pleased.
Haven't tried to shave with it. Cleaned it with Dawn dish soap and a toothbrush. Still need to do a barbasol soak.
my last acquisition: 1936 aristocrat deluxe.
a step under compared to the mint one that Peter @Northstonehill showed us some days ago but still a very good looking set.
for sure one of the best in my collection.

The razor looks great,but that packaging.WowAfter curbing my initial RAD a few years ago, I found myself on a covid binge.
I'll start here, if anyone can help me date it I'd appreciate it, no date code and 10 minutes on google I couldn't find this packaging anywhere.
I was drawn to the packaging, and I didn't have a Milord so...
I bought this off a crummy facebook photo.
I'd say it's had 2.5 blades worth of usage as 3 of the 5 blade packs are still in the cellophane, two blades out of one of the open packs, one out of the other open pack, and one in the razor. OH, date code on the blades perhaps?!

That carnation on the lapel made it a 4 color print job lol.The razor looks great,but that packaging.Wow
You can get a red celluloid tape that is era correct and tape it from the inside. Nice set.That carnation on the lapel made it a 4 color print job lol.
I'm torn, pun intended on if/how to restore the box. The only thing that hinged the lid is the thin printed top layer that has split likely decades ago and is no longer attached. Dare i tape it?... could masks it worse long term as the color is all there...
