Thread: I want a Thiers Issard 6/8. Any suggestions on where to buy?

Did I say want? I meant NEED!

Sent you a PM....

Thanks! Some of these are pimp as hell... but not sure as I've never bought from the vendors:

I have that one...slightly different, but one of my favorites TI's....great bone scales....I like it!

This is where I got mine. Each vendor has different looking razors.


TI straight razors

@OCDshaver... this is what I want, but I hate ordering from Europe.

I understand but I think you'll find it's worth it. When you're about to spend that much money, you want what you want. No reason to settle. If you get one that isn't exactly what you want, you'll never really be happy. Besides, I think you will find them good people to do business with.

Try living in Australia, we don't get much choice & have to order from all over the world
then wait until we forget we ordered it, for it to show up like a suprise. LOL

it seems like the picture is from the invisible edge. they are ok. i have ordered from them twice (not razors but spare parts). they are pretty quick.

also i have heard that TI doesn't let their vendors sell the same items. so maybe the only way to get this razor is through the invisible edge or secondhand. A friend told me this so i have no idea if it is true or not.

TI models such as you want are unique to a particular vendor. I have several TI and Boker from Steve in the UK. Great selection, totally reliable service, and delivery always no more than seven days from when shipped (to Canada). Only downside is he ships two days a week. He ships his straights fully shave ready.

If you buy it please post a report. The blade you are considering is a very new model that fills a gap left when the historic blanks ran out. Good luck.
