I wouldn't mind spending time each morning with a "Bambi"


I like the blade, barber's notch and shoulderless. The etching seemed cooler when I was drinking, it still isn't bad. If somebody could point me to the same blade features for less and from a more reputable place I'd appreciate it. I used my 5/8 cmon this morning and just prefer 6-7/8.

Are TI razors no good? somebody said they're the same as Gold Dollar? that doesn't sound like a $1xx dollar to me. I have an itch for a new razor don't want to have junk.

Thiers-Issard are wonderful razors, one of the oldest manufacturers still making blades.

I have 3 and they all give silky shaves, I have one 5/8th and two 6/8th.

This is my latest, made from an approx 100 year old blank, the Wolf and Sheep:

This thread seems to have generated a bit of confusion. The blade that you linked directly to in your first post appears to me to likely be a legit TI for the reasons I said. If you go further into the site itself to Straight Razors - "Grim Blades" Straight Razors - Grim Blades - Vintage Straight Razor there are razors etched with Grim Blades Made in the USA on the tang that I would find suspect if that is what others have referred to. They are not likely TI razors.

A TI razor is a very good razor from all reports and in no way does a Gold Dollar qualify to stand even in the TI's shadow. I do not think there have been any reports of any fake TIs showing up OTH I could be wrong.

You just remind me that I do not have a barber's notch so far,,, it's better not too late to change my order now. T.T
And
TI is the known best of the bests,,,,,,,,,Gold Dollar,,, pretty much the same creature as the CPC
