Thread: What's your favorite Thiers-Issard?

Both of ours have two mysterious lines stamped on the tang. I think we're both in an even more fancy club here.

@trondsi ???....which marks are these??? At work now but will look when I get in.

@trondsi Home now, so had a look a found the x2 lines/marks on the tang that you mentioned. It would appear that sadly these are nothing more than Decoration and are used on a quite a few of the modern Thiers Issard range of razors..... So we are NOT that exclusive apart from possessing TI Straight Razor!?!
With regards to what @outback said to TI Razors I have to agree somewhat!?! Don't get me wrong I love the one I have, if only because it's my 1st SR and also because it's one of the few that gives you the option to customise! But having gotten into SR's I am fully aware of the vast array of vintage quality SR's out there that will put a modern TI's to shame!?! And I think we have to be honest with ourselves and admit, as nice as these razors are they are not the ultimate standard. At the same time they are no slouches either.
At the end of the day finding a razor that you can wield and shaves to your satisfaction is likened to finding the perfect pair of shoes!?! There's the grind anything from Full Hollow through to Wedge then the choice of point then the steel used. The beauty of this being that an unknown razor that costs pennies maybe perfect against a well known named razor costing stupid $$ that for you shaves like a builder trowel!?!
But one thing is for sure, I will NEVER give up or sell my Thiers Issard!!!

I'll stick with old vintage, french blades.

Vintage Thiers Issard 69 NO.188 Razor 13/16"
MEDAILLE ARGT_（ARGENT)
Wolf and Ram,SHEFFIELD BEST SILVER STEEL,Half Hollow.

Here’s a couple of nice vintage TI. Very well ground full hollow. A 7/8 Spartacus and a 7/8 Bijou de France (Jewel of France).

Nothing super special but it hones easily, holds a great edge.

I bought it from a guy that wanted to shave bought a couple of new razors and some stones, hit the stones before he had his first shave and ended up selling me the TI and the stones.

The razor was so sharp I couldn't cut my finger but its a great shaver now.

Im going to give it some love with a Coti because my blood thinners insist on a smooth edge now lol

Back in 2009 ish B&B had a limited run of TI "Le Gerlot" razors made
6/8
Round Nose "
1/2 Hollow
They were done in "Pink Ivory" wood scales

I can't tell you how many I honed that year, the initial honing or rather CrOx stropping that was done over there was pretty Meh

Once honed in, especially on a full set of Naniwa SS or finished on a quality J-Nat these razors were AWESOME shavers

I still have a fondness for them even though they were Roundnose hehehe
