    Look at Portland Razor Company. They make a 2" blade razor called the Sprite. I own one and have used it for several months and recommend the product and the manufacturer without reservation. There are pictures on their website, and they are ready to talk or respond to emails. Hope this helps.

    I have heard that Thiers Issard had a few that we can still find as NOS, but can't tell you precisely which ones

    My Theirs Issard arrived today - the Le Dandy from Fendrihan and I've just dropped it off to be honed. Here's the link of Fendrihan where it and another razor with the same blade (Petit Francais) can be found. Hope this helps. The Fendrihan website describes it as follows: Cutting Edge: 2.2” (58 mm), Razor Length: 4.3” (111 mm), Size: 5/8 full hollowed carbon steel blade.

    How do these "Le Dandy" hold up, hold an edge, and shave?

    I dropped it off to be honed as soon as I received it so I can't speak to that but I'll post my thoughts when I can. I'm only about 12 shaves in using a straight razor - I use a Dovo and a Hamburg Ring so my.

    The Solgen razors (I got mine when I bought a Kanayama strop) were sold in Japan. They are very short 13/16 width razors. It takes a wicked edge and has a very unforgiving point!

    That MAB's a beauty. That's one I need to be keeping my eye out for!
