    Default Garanti, 42 , made in France

    Garanti, 42 , made in France is what is says on a straight razor a neighbour gave me a few months back, I can't find anything about it from searching on google. The box which I believe to be the original just says ' Rasoir Extra Garanti' across the front.

    Anyone have one or any information about them?

    I'm no french expert - but I understand "garanti" to mean "guaranteed" like "with warranty"...

    Just realised it has a small 'M P' inside a diamond, perhaps that is the manufacturer?

    Cheers septic!

    Post a photo. There are a variety of things it could be. Does it have a frameback?

    With a French blade, it could be the maker's or the re-seller's mark. There is a long and complicated history of blades in France. They are, after all, an essential tool in that great French obsession: cooking.

    I looked into French knives a while back, and discovered that a lot of high-end models by French manufacturers from the 1920's onward used metal blanks from elsewhere (most notably Solingen, Germany).

    I suspect that the same may be true of SE razors.

    I know of at least one French language SE forum that could shed some light on your search, but you'll need some pics of the blade.

    I'd be happy to forward images to the French site for you.
