Surely not. I’m sure it’s like the Brits calling them cut throats. (I’m not calling you Shirley.)
Thank you for the link - bookmarked! This could be a problem
.I now remember doing something similar when I tried looking for Le Grelots.
In French, a slang term for your head is your "Cabbage".
So THAT is what my Unkle meant when he called me "Cabbage!"

Did you have a French "oncle"?
Yes, but he could barely speak English, and lived here his whole life! No French that I know of...

Excusez-moi. I am confuzed. He lived een ze USA, could barely speak English and no French that you know of? How did he communicate wis uzzer people?
I really like the rasoir-sabre Moon Man razor i got recently. The workmanship was grate in my opinion. They are reasonably prices if you compare them to e.g. TI razors of the same size.
It did have some uneven honing issues i needed to correct. It is reportedly the same steel as the TI razors, but i am not sure if the hardening process is the same as TI. It does not feel as hard as my other TI razors.

Just remember these French razors needs to be honed on French stones or else they get offended and will refuse to give you a good edge It does not help to argue with them. It might help to put on some French music if you hone on something else.
So there you have it, the secret to honing a French razor

Another off the wall French razor, touched up for tomorrow's shave. Postage cost more than the razor. Nothing fancy but well made. Paul Zsa Zsa, Size Gold.
In my experience the C135 steel gets on extremely well with Arkansas Novaculite.
