Theirs-Issard Razor sale
I just noticed this morning that Lehmans.com has a sale of overstocked items one of which was the Theirs-Issard Faux Tortoise Shell Straight Razor for $99.99. Pretty good price there. If you have been looking for a good price for one, here it is.

Just had a look at the 99.99 USD TI.
I love its description on Lehman's site, especially the Note:
Exclusive lead hardening process - considered the best method for strengthening carbon steel - dates back 100's of years. After being hand forged, each blade is plunged into boiling lead, then quenched in water and hand sharpened to a true razor edge.
Blades stay sharp longer and will last a lifetime
6/8"W blade (recommended for extra heavy beards)
Faux tortoise shell handle 5-1/2"L
Made the same way since 1884 in France
Note: Blades will turn to a rustic brown color with use.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.

got one about 3 years ago when they had the same sale. I'm pleased with it for the money.

I have had good luck with Theirs Issard razors, normally they are quite a bit more than this price. Sounds like a good deal.

The only new razor I have purchased is a 6/8 TI Le Dandy. It has kept its edge extremely well over the years in my regular rotation, requiring only regular stropping and the occasional touch up with CrOx. I think I had to bring it to the stones after 5 years of use.
Mine has yet to turn “rustic brown”. I have no idea what that was about.rolodave likes this.David
