If you want to know, just put your razor on a scale. If that razor is between 83-84gr, you have a Barbasol. If is between 87-88gr, it's a PAL Make in England. Look alike clones ? Ok. Clones with the same weight ? No way.

Speaking about old type clones, I recently found this "G.I. & Co" razor :
Very nice mate. How does the shave compare with the original?
Fantastic!
Thanks, but I don't remember, it's already gone... ^^"
Great photos and info, guys. Keep 'em coming.

French, slant, bakelite.
I do not know the exact date, but "Le Petit Parisien" newspaper was closed in 1944.

Nice find : )
I absolutely love that box, it's kinda art deco.
Thanks !
Help with info on "Sol".
I just scored this beauty and am awaiting delivery. Anyone around these parts have additional info? When and where it came from? Anyone shave with one of these? Anyone, anyone??

Very nice ! But I don't know anything, sorry.
Picked up a Segal with 5 blades this weekend for $9 - it needs some love before it can be used, but it's not in bad shape at all.
Oh I can add to this thread
I don't have a clue in the world what it is but I can say with unabridged certainty that it "sure ain't no Gillette"
2 years and a half later, I know what it is ! It's a "Pétard" razor, French made. Here are some other models :
Note the cruved head, the "safeguard bar" is on the TOP cap and not on the lower one

Isn't it for underarms? I have a Neillite that is curved like this.
Gives a fresh nuance to the phrase "Hoist with his own Pétard".2 years and a half later, I know what it is ! It's a "Pétard" razor, French made. Note the cruved head, the "safeguard bar" is on the TOP cap and not on the lower one

VERY NICE of you to post all these years later to let me know what "the beast" is.
It shaves extremely close with the curved blade.
Nope, it was definitely made for men, the previous owner of mine was an old collector and confirmed this.
You are very welcome ! I remember well when yours was on ebay and I missed it, so I kept my eyes opened all this time...
I can't wait to try it !
Probably needs a fairly steep angle. Let us know how it goes for you!
It is like the beastly R-41 (shows a fair amount of blade) but with a sharp blade (Feather or 5 o'clock black) it is as smooth and tame as a little kitten that eats whiskers
