Interesting. Mine and I'm sure Ray's are a "55" and I see that the Le Grelot has a "5", were Le Grelot making the same razor for either one another? Or was just just to compete with each others line?
Any rare straights?

Yeah, I have the no.55 TI, as well as no.56 which has replaceable blade and comes with a screwdriver, and extra blade(s) in special pockets of the cardbox. Looks like I haven't uploaded pictures of that one.
I have no idea how they decided on the model numbers.

Are those #69's rare? Maybe I got lucky. Ivan sold me this one a few months ago. And I had another one before that which was a little bit more beat up....

OK.....so RayG, Gugi, yourself and I are one of the few who have these. So no one else has one GOT IT
Oh wow, I ran across a no. 56 at an antique store and was wondering about the blades. I gotta keep an eye out for one.
Not sure how rare this is.. but it is unique. This is an old Bausch & Lomb Optical Microtome. Had a good grind for honing so I honed it up and now use it for shaving.
8/8 Dubl Duck Goldedge, my rarest razor.
As far as I know, I've only seen one other.

Antique Hoosier

London Bridge cased pair by John Weiss "Razor Maker to His Majesty" forged from the iron/steel pilings of the 1176 London Bridge. In the ground for 649 years, forged sometime between 1825 and 1831, which would make the blades over 800 years old as a forged medium. Still on layaway, expected delivery by the end of March.

Wow! Not much else I can say about those. Just wow!
IMHO only five is pretty rare.
Actually I was wrong about that. TI only made one 8/8 damascus razor - the other four were 7/8. So that 8/8 TI Damascus would qualify as rare.

I've got one too... And I think Ivo has (or had, as of two years ago) a 7-day set. He had a 7-day set of genuine Tortoise Heljestrands as well...
All Weyersberg razors are uncommon but these models are especially rare.
It's a handmade razor that's made using the Mizuyaki tempering method. Look up Mizuyaki online and check the prices.
Maybe I should have taken you up on this razor. Still have it?
Sorry but it's on its way to the UK. The last one is for me.Maybe I should have taken you up on this razor. Still have it?
