    That should read "molten lead", not "boiling lead". Boiling lead might be hot enough to melt the razor.
    . . . . . Mindful shaving, for a better world.

    Oh, what a disappointment.
    I liked the dramatic mental picture of lead starting to bubble with some lead vapours rising into the air.

    I stumbled onto this thread while doing a search for "Theirs-Issard". Even though it was dated last November, I hopped on over to lehmans.com and saw that the sale price was still available. Plus they had free shipping right now. I took one.

    Since this place is a general "back to your roots" kind of store, selling a variety of merchandise, I am sure they do not do anything to the blade beyond what was done at the factory. I wonder if I should have it honed further by one of the professionals people around here recommend, to make it shave ready?

    Probably wise to send the razor out for a quality honing. Glen of Gemstar Custom Razors comes highly recommended (see his thread in Vendors Corner section of Forum area).

    I agree as mine needed some touch up when i got it. You could always give it a try when you receive it and see what you think.

    I just ordered one of these TIs based on this thread. Thanks for the link. Also just snagged a nice W&B off EBay too. A good night indeed.

    Yeah, when I first saw the post I looked at the date and I almost did bother going over to the lehman's site, but I figured, what the heck, might as well check if it's still available at the sale price.
