Le Grelot Médaille d’Or 1931 - 13/16 - 7 day set

[KW Driver]

Congratulations Antoine! I really like the Le Grelot razors I've got, but there are two that I like just a little bit more than the others; the 355 6/8 (you've got that one if my memory doesn't fail me) and the 71 that you've got seven beautiful specimens of. I like the heft and the looks.

I like the look of your 355, and love my 71.

@Mango, beautiful set.

Hi All
It took me some time to together a 7 day set of my favorite Le Grelot. Most of them are NOS blades + original scales.
Here in a 6 day original box, to rediscover how they looked like some 50 years ago ...or more.

6 in the box ....and the 7th herebelow

Gorgeous set Antoine!!!

@Mango, beautiful set.

I’m a big fan of the 360 labeled blades.

I was never a fan of sets until I saw this one. Le Grelot is definitely a favorite of mine, but you have set me the impossible goal!

I would trade all I had for a set like that Sir ...

Congratulations. Well done. Le Grelots are my favorite vintage razor. Love that tough vintage French steel.

I don't know where you find these beautiful razors, but your collection is the nicest I've seen.

This set is amazing! Congratulations.

A question, Sir: if this is a seven day set, why there's only six places available in that box?

One possible answer: "Because I shave today with one razor, while the other six are awaiting their turn in the set".
OK. What if the owner need to travel and bring the 7 day set with him? Six razors in the box and the seventh...where? In the pocket?

I've got a 360 in ivory.
The one I have has the characteristic unique upper jimps.

Ivory Scale Razors.

Typically, vintage ivory scales tend to be much thinner than their bone counterparts. Not a certainty, but something to look for. See Lindy's Helje's...

Awesome! I have one in ivory too! Look for older posts in that thread under basil, I’m pretty sure you’ll see my razor there!

Wait my post is right under yours in the thread! Lol

I put together a seven day set but they sold 6 razors at a time.
