Thread: Thiers Issard 1937 Special Coiffeur 6/8"

I received my Thiers Issard 1937 Special Coiffeur 6/8" from SRD a couple of days ago. I really like it. It gave me a good shave and I like the feel of it in my hands. Any one else have one?

I don't have one, but I was thinking about it, it's a full hallow, right?

The SRD website nor the thiers issard box actually says it's full hollow but it appears to be.

Actually classicedge.ca says half hallow..... Mmmmm sounds smooth

Well maybe it is half hollow. I never considered that when I bought it. I'd recommend buying one. SRD still has them.

Half hollow's are a good middle of the road blade to start out with - I started with the Dovo Best Quality 1/2 hollow and still really like it. You get the keeness of a hollow and the horsepower of a wedge...all around great blade IMO.

I got the same from classicedge together with the paddlestrop. So far love it. It's been a month by now and since I got it i'm shaving daily with it.
Enjoy

I have one also. It is in fact an awesome 1/2 hollow. Great balance and handling

What 1937 Special Coiffeur is meant here? The old 1/2 Hollow Version from the 30s-60s or the actual Version that is more 3/4 - 1/1 Hollow? I Have both and they only share the Name with each other, the Shaving Characteristics of the old and the new are dcompletly different IMO.

I have one in 5/8 and it's a nice little shaver.

Cheers.
