Thread: Great Deal on T-I Razors...no kidding.

Jury is in.. The Thiers-Issard had its maiden voyage this morning. Edge was right out of the box, about 60 laps on the fabric side of the strop and an additional 55-60 on an oil-tanned Russian leather.

Cream was Truefitt & Hill 1805-a true classic. Brush-a re knotted "Cling-Fast" antique (Finest Badger).

Verdict? Simply perfect. No issues at all. Blade was smooth and efficient. Very reminiscent of a coticule edge as opposed to a, say, J-Nat.

I'm thinking you guys are going to REALLY like this razor..

That is great to hear. Glad you had a great first shave.

I figured they would need honing a bit.

Great news!!

Easy for me to say, but I received no communication until shipping confirmation either until yesterday afternoon. I think you should be okay.

I didn't see the thread until just a few days ago. It was out of stock, and now shows as $189.99 I was too slow...

Usually what happens to me.

Mine is on the truck for delivery. Will test it tomorrow and hope I am as lucky as Phoenix51.

I didn't get on until after they wer out of stock but I was still able to get my order in. Hopefully it won't take long and everything goes through.

Mine arrived today. All I had time to do was to wipe off the oil and try a little tree topping on my arm. Seems to be pretty darn good for out of the box.

I will try just doing some extra laps when stropping and see how it feels. May have to wait til Friday as I have a plumber coming tomorrow morning.

Pretty happy with the deal and what I see so far.

Mine arrived today and after loupe exam and tests I'm satisfied. And after the 12 & 16k and strop, very satisfied. It's substantial and those scales are beefy. I thought it felt a bit heavy for a 6/8" which the box says but it measures like 7/8" ??? Anyway for the cost it's a good deal.

Got mine too! going to try it tomorrow night, a amazing looking razor.Do you think i could try it without stropping?(i'm currently doubting my abilities because of some issues i've been having keeping another razor sharp). Here's picture proof.

Oooh boy, these pics are making the wait seem forever.
Are they arriving by USPS?
