Thread: The New Thiers Issard Silverwing!!

FYI gentlemen some more info on the new TIs

I was just curiously browsing the internizel and came across this

http://www.rasurpur.de/rasurpurshop/


These guys have some additional pictures of the preproduction Silverwing model from TI.

There is a limited edition TI Silverwing w/ Cocobolo wood scales (no pics)

The release date for these razors seems to be Oct 14 2007

Yes, you can go to the site and reserve yourself one. I think its 250 to be made in the LE series. About $250 as I recall.

Oh man! Those look soooo goood. I want one! But $250? Hmm... maybe not right now...

Eeeek...prices on the site are in Euros, so don't forget to almost double it for $$$.

250 eur is about 340 usd at the moment. Not quite as bad as with the pound

Am I seeing things or did anyone else notice that they still had two Pierre Thiers Hand forged razors left?

I thought those were sold out months ago.

Now if I could only scratch up 400 euros...........

The exchange rate is really killing us in the USA.
The euro and dollar were equal when the euro came out, and look what has happened since.

True, but, unfortunately, the razor is 265 EUR, which is almost $360. That would buy a nice custom razor.

If you compare the prices at that site with the same item at Classic Shaving, you'll see the CS prices quite a bit lower. I'm guessing once US dealers get these, the same will hold true.

Actually, the one thing I'd love to see is a return to the curved tang (where the thumb holds on in a normal grip??) I have one TI with that tang and it's very comfortable to hold.
