As you all can tell I am brand new here. I have made a checklist/shopping list of type equipment I should be looking for as a newbie.

I will be in Paris in May (wife won a week long trip) and I was thinking what better souvener than to buy all or some of my equipent from there.

I have read a little about the Thiers-Issard company and am getting excited about finding and buying from there.

A quick recommendation if anyone knows any specific stores in/around Paris where they sell this brand.

Also if any of you think I am going over my head with this brand as my first blade let me know, maybe buying a brush or scuttle from there instead would be the way to go.
