Thanked: 586Thiers Issard Info Please?
Take a look at my newest razor. It is made by a French company named Thiers Issard. Does anyone know anything about them? They appear to be connected with the Sabatier cutlery manfacturer because the box has the Sabatier elephant on it. But more mysterious is the engraving on this apparently brand new special editon razor:
You may not believe I found this crazy thing while on vacation in Maine. I don't believe it myself!
The blade and handle are both engraved with the words Straight Razor Place". The blade also sports the sgnature of Lynn Abrams! This razor is serialized with number 171. It came in the original box with a fancy leather sheath. Does anyone know hw many of these things there are and where they are sold?
It took alot of time and all my charm to convince the woman to sell me this razor. She said they are very rare and came directly from France strictly for members of SRP! What are the odds of me, a member of Straight Razor Place finding the only one available at a flea market in rural New England! Well, it was like pulling teeth but I got it. Now here's the big question. I have no idea how much these things are worth. I realize something is basically worth what someone is willing to pay. However, this is pretty special and I can find nothing about them. If I told you I talked the crazy woman into letting me have the razor for $35, a set of four hubcaps off a 1964 Austin Healey Sprite Mark II and an issue of Mad Magazine from May 1958 in near mint condition, would you think I got a good deal?Last edited by icedog; 09-23-2008 at 11:55 PM.
