Hoffritz Straight Razor ID

[tanvir]

Some time ago I purchased two new old stock, made in France, Hoffritz straight razors. I know many of the German built Hoffritz razors were made by Dovo. I could not find any reference to French Hoffritz. The scales are not finished well and the blade finishing is not as refined as modern Thiers Issard. The plastic sleeve is an inexpensive job instead of even a nice card box. Never seen a pre Thiers Issard Le Grelot in person (only pictures). First I thought these may be TI but there is jimping on the top of the blade spine as well as bottom. Current Thiers only has bottom jimping. These are 13/16" size razors.

The razors are very good shavers. Good enough that it is in the permanent rotation. Anyone has idea or speculation who may be the manufacturer of these razor?

Thank you.

Looks very close to a P hospital Le Grelot to me.

@johnmrson Thank you. It could very well be a P Hospital. That will also explain why it is so satisfying to shave with it. I searched and found few images that have jimping on both side and without stabilizer that look very similar to the above Hoffritz.
