Near Mint 6/8 Le Grelot in Ebony Wood ( S O L D )

Gentlemen,
This is a near mint condition 6/8 Le Grelot 3/4 hollow in ebony wood. Everything about the razor is almost perfect, from the tight pins to the scales and the sparkling blade. The smearing on the blade is Ballistol oil. The razor is a fabulous shaver honed to perfection, at least in my humble estimation. These great razors are gone. If you have never enjoyed the joy of shaving with the Le Grelot, here is your chance. Included also is the leather case. The price is $315. U.S. shipping is my compliment; overseas is a wee bit extra. Paypal is fine. Thanks.

A real nice classic, I'm done buying until the fall otherwise.... GLWTS

If only I knew I would be able to use straights again, Obie.

I know what you mean, David. From what I understand, you had to stop because of shoulder problem was it? Giving up the straight razor is a tough choice, but reality dictates some decisions.
As for the Le Grelot, it is a sweet razor. At one time I had five and now am down to two, one of which I will always keep.
Stay well.

Thanks, Obie.
Yes, it was/is a shoulder/neck issue. I had a Le Grelot, bought from Martin at Rasurpur. They are, indeed, superb shavers.

Yes, at one time, Martin at Rasurpur had a good selection of the Le Grelot. If I recall, I bought this from him. My first Le Grelot, also purchased from him, and the one I plan to keep, has plastic white scales and I am quite fond of it. Alas, the straight razor collection was getting out of hand and I have been trimming it for the past couple years, striving to hold around 15 including some customs.

The word smooth was invented to describe that razor, incredible piece. Good luck with it Obie.

Smooth indeed, Macko. After all these years, the Le Grelot is still one of my best shavers. Good stuff.
