Erik Anton Berg. Took a chance with some cleaned up pitting but shouldn’t effect the shave. I’m ok with the imperfection. Will hone and shave this weekend. Overall pleased.
Old French 6/8 P.FRITISSE THIERS "FORTUNATUS". Re-scaled and honed.
I will experiment with finishers to get smooth shave. Steel almost like swedish by feedback while honed.
Is it possible that French used Swedish Steel in their razors?
Four from the Maggard Vintage Vault including a Linley Pipe Razor, a Smith Warranted, a Bingham, and a Roberts mustache razor. One from a French eBay seller who listed this as a potential Military officer’s razor when in fact it is a Paul Sormani Paris one likely made by Rodgers.

I think this is enough.
Mr. Hoosier, I put it to you that you were lying to us...
I’m sure you seen the Massive Bengall pair that have been languishing on eBay for close to 4 years. They are quite amazing but $1200 USD is steep for even an impressive pair. Yours are very very nice. Congratulations.Another nice condition 6/8 Bengall popping up on UK Ebay:

Genuine tortoise scalesBlimey! I haven’t seen those actually (they probably don’t come up cos I’m in the UK).
Certainly excellent razors, but $1200 is indeed crazy for a coupla Bengalls, no matter their size or impressiveness. I think my pair above cost about 1/20th of that.
Your new (old) hoard look like they’ll be fun! I look forward to seeing some of ‘em once you’ve got them back into shape…

Wow. I’ve never seen a Bengall in tortoise. I’d totally buy those if I was Scrooge McDuck.Genuine tortoise scales
