6/8 Le Grelot, Le Merle Blanc. Maybe a tribute to the movie?

There is a Bordeaux wine of the same name. It means “the white blackbird”.

 

[Steve56]

Yes, it’s a cool name! I dodn’t know about the wine.

The Elegant by Ertan Suer.
It's made with 100c6 ball bearing steel. So, not French steel, but forged in France.
The gring is a extra hollow.
I should use this more often.

Decided to pull out the rattler again for Frameback Friday.

Le Grelot P. Hospital No. 5

If I can make some room I'd like to improve France's representation in my rotation next year.

 

[Steve56]

Resurrected an old image, but got all the stuff out for today. Le Grelot Fleur d’Acier, Floris Elite softwre.

4 of 7. Rameau 8/8 Rattler, Semogue Torga C5 Silvertip, Stirling Unscented with Beeswax, and Clubman Pinaud "The Veg" Lilac Vegetal.

Rock-solid shave! The Veg has really grown on me - doesn't have that highly-volatile, organic chemistry stink that so many cheap, mass-produced aftershaves have.

 

[Steve56]

6/8 Le Jaguar, the brush is a Zenith unbleached boar, and the software Le Labo.

[Matt O]

Only one I have, but I love it. A rattler grind by Manufacture Française d'Armes de St. Étienne.

5 of 7. Thiers-Issard 7/8 Basic Black with Semogue Torga C5 Silvertip, Stirling Unscented with Beeswax, and Floid Genuine.

C135 is good stuff!

Thiers Issard 69 Frameback managed to get this delivered at the workplace in time before the end of French Steel Week.
Long ignored razor...the edge was fantastic...buttery smooth and crisply keen after a quick refresh on the 0.1um diamond balsa...

Okay @Steve56 - that just isn't fair to us common folk around here! Lol!
