Thread: Theirs-Issard Spartacus and BiJou de France

I only say this because both owners had the razors a short time and dried them after use. One went away free three days and returned to find rust all over the blade. I would think it might have to do with the quality of the steel. Only my opinion.

I've got two here that I've had for 2 years, not a bit of rust anywhere and I don't oil or anything. Any carbon steel blade will rust if not dried and kept at a low humidity level)

My couple of Thiers are great shaving razors that have never rusted between uses which can sometimes be a month or two.

You could do worse than a nice thiers. They, in my experience, do not come shave ready from the factory.

I thought this was a friendly community. We all have our own opinions. Don't understand the attack on my opinion. Please lets keep it friendly and a site where we can exchange ideas, knowledge and opinions.
Thank you l

It is a friendly site, but I think to say a high quality blade won't rust is just wrong... this is not opinion, and to suggest that a manufacturer has low standards because of that is not fair

If a company sent them new to a customer with rust on...... that's a different matter
