Got this razor today. It's marked Caudano Torino and 202 on the back. It's a 13/16 ?French point? Does anyone have any info on this. Hopefully our resident encyclopedia Greybeard will stop by.
New Razor Info Needed...Caudano Torino

Caudano is one of the few Italian razor manufacturers. Torino (Turin) is where the razor was made. Their razors are made from Austrian Bohler steel and considered to be good shavers.
Caudano is also an area in the province of Torino named after the Caudano family. There have been, and still are, many businesses with the Caudano name in Turin. The manufacturer might have been G. Caudano, a barber supply manufacturer of whom little is known. Or C. Caudano who has been in business since 1854 and manufactured cutlery and fine kitchen tools, including commercial grade tools, pasta makers, coffee grinders, etc.
Unfortunately I don't speak enough Italian to find out more.

Thanks a bunch Greybeard, my standard guide to straights didn't even have it listed. I shaved with this razor last night after touching it up on a thuri. It was a magnificent shave, very smooth. So I guess it's a keeper.
