The French Foreign Laceration
I looked through the razor clubs and didnt see one for the Thiers-Issard's. Whats up with that? I, and probably countless others depend on these clubs to see whats out there and to live though other people's good fortune's. We NEED these clubs! :rant:
However I do not yet own a TI so I really cant start the club...:(
So, I'll let the guy who actually starts the TI group decide, on a name, I just wanted to throw my $.02 in.

Alas, the blade was also pitted, so the sandpaper ate the etching to get at the pitting. The blade also had a frown. Nothing that a little elbow grease couldn't take care of!
I had my first shave with it last night. This razor can take a very sharp edge! I finished it down to 0.5um on my hanging strop, and it was almost too sharp. I got one cut from hesitating for but a moment with the blade on my face. I'll try leaving it at a 1.0um finish next time to try and tame it down a bit.
Next up is to make some scales for it, as it certainly is shave-worthy!:tu
Viva La France!
