Thread: LF help on a vintage Thiers-Issard

Update:

Sent the Thiers-Issard out to gssixgun/Glen who took it apart and did various things to it - many of which I don't understand fully being more of a DE guy, but they were;
- Basic Clean and Hone by hand using Rags, Q-Tips and Blue Magic to clean the steel and scales,
- Doused the channel and the screw w/ some Kroil to loosen the blade and threads,
- Broke it all down, cleaned it up using Q-Tip and Blue Magic,
- Honed it using Chosera 1-5-10 and finished w/ a Nakayams

All I know is that it looks fantastic - just as discussed Glen left the patina on the blade - and it's super smooth, yet firm to open and close.
Also the hair on my left hand can testify that it's shaves extremely well

Really excited to try this one out!



It might be 100 years old - but something tells me it still has a few years left in it.
