Thread: dovo vs thiers issard

I think you hit the nail on the head. I have a Thiers Issard "le Canadien" and a Dovo Bismark and a Dovo faux tortoise... All are excellent razors. The Thiers Issard is beautiful and I paid more for it cause it's a Canadien... and I am from Canada, that's the reason I have it. Otherwise I like my Dovo's they are as good but cheaper (cause they are less flashy). Personnally if you want a Canadien get it, beautiful razor and you won't regret it, especially the historical with the barbers notch on snakewood, if you want a amazing shaver get the "Bismark" it's a beautiful blade as well but about 100$ cheaper! So for me I bought the one TI blade and that'll be it... If I ever buy new again it will be a DOVO but I think next I will be getting into vintage blades.

PS - Very sorry I bought Phil's last Bismark with the red scales, they don't make it anymore apparently... I'm sure the new one's with horn or whatever too will be amazing.
