My entry into the TI Razor Club
I'll join in as well...This is my entry into the TI razor group. It's a "Le Petit Francais". This is currently the smallest razor I have width wise, but it represents my official entry into the world of straight razor shaving. I have gathered some specs, and yes, I'm a bit of a techie, but discovering the nuances of these hand made tools is part of the fun...
TI "Le Petit Francais", 4/8ths Round Point, Full Hollow Ground, C-135 "carbonsong" Steel (1.35% carbon content placing it in the ultra-high carbon steel category), black plastic scales, bottom-only jimps, stamped with the crown logo and "Thiers-Issard Made in France" on the shank. Place of manufacture: Thiers, France.
As you can see from the pictures below, the blade is still covered with the oil that was used to protect it during shipping, as I have not had a chance to clean it up and use it. I'm hoping that this little razor will be a pleasure to use. Enjoy...
