Small Le Grelot 7/16"

[rambus007]

I got excited when I found a box labelled Le Grelot at the antique store. When I opened the the case what I found inside was a petite razor. I've never seen a small Le Grelot but I've seen other small razor. It's only 7/16". Does anyone else have one of these guys? Are they similar to other Le Grelots in how they carry good edges? Thanks.

I can't say that I have one myself, but I've seen them on the bay a bit. At first glance I thought that they had massive hone wear, hence the small blade, but then I realized that they are just very small razors. They also tend to go for fairly cheap, I've seen a few go for under $20. How does it shave?

I haven't honed it up yet. I kind of want to get rid of the rust and stuff first! It should be easy to use especially under the nose. I'll let you know when I use it.
