So I bought this straight razor years ago, I do not even remember where (probably off eBay or a French site). The blade was not damaged but had loads of oxidation. I cleaned it with Pierre dargent which is a natural cleaning product made of white clay, perfect for metals. There are still bits of oxidation, but I could not do any better. Then I sent it to a German dude who changed the handle with a custom one in rosewood, then it went to Portugal for honing.
I never asked the seller about the origin of the straight razor, there is no engraving on the blade and no original box with it. So I named it Le Soldat inconnu, in reference to that.
It looks like a 5/8 wedge or near wedge to me:
What do you think?
