Now that's interesting. I have a Beaujeu with the same wheel or gear logo plus a crown, but it's a Beaujeu Purier instead of a Dumontel.Beaujeu Dumontel
Yes, baba is Japanese for barber.Gotta keep my eye out for one. As I mentioned my granddaughter named me Baba. In some languages meaning great ( grand) father or just father . Where she came up with it is beyond me.
And this means barber right?
How appropriate.!
Interesting, I have a Beaujeu also. No Purier, no Dumontel. So it seems they merged with someone else, which is usual, but splitting in 2 different branches is more unusual.Now that's interesting.

And finally of course a Bengall, in this case a 7/8 hollow complete with a Shakespeare quote.
🫤You've got a Bengall-George-Butler-Shakespeare??? Well that's cool too!
Have you seen one of these before @Legion? What's going on? I'm so confused...
It's always fun when one's apparently disparate interests happen to intersect, especially in a useful way, isn't it? Bit like when I ended up with a heavily used grabendolch with a mostly obliterated marking of "EI WA D RASI M SSER-FABRIK" (ERN Wald Rasiermesser-fabrik) which I was only able to decipher because I knew the brand from some razors I had.OMFG YOU GUYS HAVE BEAUJOLAIS RAZORS!!!
Beaujeu Dumontel and Beaujeu Purier I assume are both family names. But the 'B' part will most certainly have come originally from the same family in the the tiny village of Beaujeu, from which the wine region Beaujolais gets its name. It lies a little to the north-east of Thiers and right next to Villie-Morgon (as in my avatar picture).
Going straight in at No.1 on my 'most wanted razors' list!
I agree. It is amazing what you can discover when given a chance to go through another member's modest collection of SRs.What some are discovering makes this so cool! Love it.
More than just razors.
