    I see Le Grelot logo,
    but why do you think it is also Thiers Issard?

    I always thought that Le Grelot and Thiers Issard were always together instead thanks to your comment I discovered that Le Grelot produced even before the acquisition. Now I don't know the exact dating of the razor so I'm in doubt.

    I like Le Grelot from before the time that they were acquired by Thiers Issard
    and I also like
    Thiers Issard from before the time that Thiers Issard acquired Le Grelot.

    I don't think the scales are original.
    It says guaranteed hardened and is manually sharpened

    That's a nice looking razor.
    In looking at past threads here and other sites, these could be original scales. Kabrand seemed to put out razors with plain to very decorative scales. From what I have seen.

    Many thx!
    The doubt came to me because the brand is often present on the handle too. The scales are certainly from the same era as the razor.

    Nos Puma 89 special 6/8
    I bought this razor in the dark without being able to see the blade for a very low price from an inexperienced seller who, when I asked, told me it looked new... I trusted him :)

    Latest arrival: A razor I haven't found much information about. Waed is supposedly one of the founders of Wardonia, but it's a very common surname. I kept the engravings on the blade and handle. When I started restoring razors, I used to erase them, but now I've changed my mind. I removed a very annoying chip on the blade.

    It has a strange spine, a kind of notch for the finger
