Thread: Ti Pierre Theirs hand forged

Where can you find the TI historical Pierre Theirs hand forged, classic shaving is sold out, are they sold anywhere else?

I'm sure Classic will get more in if there are any to be had. They were a limited number but I'm not sure if all have left Thiers shop yet.

classic shaving show 450 razors made knife center shows 400 which is it.
Is the knife center trust worthy as i know classic is

Wow that is nice and pricey too.

Although pricey, these are one of the best shavers out there.

I always wanted one of these. It's like owning a piece of history, you know?

You are making it real hard on me if to order it or not

My view, perhaps this will help.

The TI Pierre Forged LE is a $425 razor. In that sort of price range, it's up against custom razors made by Maestro Livi or Robert Williams.

The TI will shave at least as good (if not better) than anything from Maestro Livi or Robert Williams (IMO). It's not hard to hone, takes a great edge, and keeps the edge pretty well too.

For me it would come down to which I preferred in terms of looks, and whether I wanted a historical hand forged blade of which supply is very limited; or a modern custom hand forged blade which is a one-off but the maker is still alive and kicking (so maybe not so limited/rare in terms of supply).

If money was no object I would definately have a TI Pierre Forged LE in my collection. I had one once, but sold it as I wanted a custom Maestro and couldn't afford both.

I do remember the TI Pierre Forged LE was a superb shaver, very close and very comfortable. The odd shape didn't make it the least bit hard to hone or use. I managed to hone it myself without any difficulty, and that was when I had much less experience than I have now.

IMO, if you want one and can afford one then go for it - you won't be disappointed.

So
let's say I have the $ and want it, should I send it for Lynn to hone it?
Or
Can I just put it in the shelf for now, and use my other straights till I now for sure I am good at honing and then hone it myself and use it?
Doesn't the odd shapr of its edge make it harder?
And how does it feel when it come to wheigt and so on?
