What's new

Fontenille & Luna rescales

These 2 belong to Luc, that B&B mod with the mostest razors, or so it seems. Always keeps me busy & off the streets :001_smile

Both were in for honing & rescale but both needed major surgery. The Luna needed about 2mm removed at the toe to get past the pitting on the edge but any remaining pitting is well away from the edge now. See microscope "before" pic

The blue Fontenille needed the heel area reshaped to allow honing. See this all the time with razors worn flush to the stabiliser . The heel bevel doesn't form as it is kept off the hone with most of the pressure going to the toe.

Any who both razors plus an extra French one in the batch honed up perfectly. All 3 rivalling my Iwasaki in performance. Awesome shavers.

Heading south of the border this arvo mate:thumbup1:

If someone wants them, that's fine... If they find a new happy home, I call it success! :thumbup1:

I tried the Fontenille this morning! Great shave! It's as good as my LeGrelot! The etching on the blade is strangely similar...
