Thread: Thiers Issard

Okay, here we go. My very first post as a complete newbie fresh-chin in the world of hygienic meditation / straight razor shaving!

I have recently purchased my very first straight razor; a Thiers Issard 'Dreadnaught' 7/8" with rams horn scales. My mission is to primarily use it, but also have a beautiful razor to pass down to my future children.

You may think it's a quite expensive razor for a 1st buy, but I've saved up for this sucker and it was my grandmother's wish to continue the tradition of passing down straight razors.

My question is; as I'm looking to create my own 7 day set through the years, what other brands look and feel similar to that of TI? I would like to already now find brands to monitor for new (or old) designs that would make a nice addition in a 7 day set.

Be gentle. I'm as new as they come and don't even have full facial hair yet!
