  7. Gorgeous razor :D if it shaves half as good as it looks, then it must be quite the shave.

    What a beauty! I just bought a new razor a couple of weeks ago (Jagger with ebony scales), but those white scales are very eye popping. Where did you get it? Does it shave as well as it looks?

    I suddenly have razor envy! :D

    I got the razor from this website. http://www.rasurpur.de/english/

    It's a great little shop from Germany. I never meant to buy anything when I stumbled on the site but I saw it and fell in love.

    The razor shaves like a dream. It's got a nice weight to it so the blade just plows through everything so easy.

    What I really love tho is the scales. When I ordered the bonescales I never expected them to be so white and smooth. They feel like polished stone and I love it.

    It's the most beautiful razor I own and I'm thinking of selling my other straights now to maybe get another of these le grelots!

    I've only ever tried one Le Grelot, the one with the pink ivory scales, when I was sharpening it for someone. I was quite impressed with the shave it gave.

    Those French razor makers know their stuff! Congrats on getting such a nice razor, and thanks for sharing it with us!

    James.
