So I haven't bought a "New" razor in over 2 years so I broke down I snatched this one up today
Thiers-Issard Eagle Brand Straight Razor 7/8" blade Red Staminawood Handle France - Knifecenter.com
Anyone else have one???
BTW I am planning on following the TI instructions to the letter for "Shave Ready" that should be fun ....
Now how long do you guys think that "Stamina Wood" is going to really stay on that razor :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
In the words of Achmed the Dead Terrorist: I kill you!! :DQuote:

For that price you could have bought a Hart Steel Glen. :hmmm: OMG I can't believe I just said that. :shrug: Just couldn't resist. :)
Seriously, nice looking razor. Can't wait to see it in the new scales. :)
Glen, I think that is a challenge for you. See how long you can resist adding your own "improved" scales.
I bet it drives you crazy :D
I wonder how do those singing TIs shave?
I got this one:
Historic Spartacus Bone Handles

I love that razor, Glen. I'll be really interested to hear your thoughts. Next year sometime, I'll probably get one of those!

Also do you know what kind of grind is yours? mine is listed as 1/2.
I like the look of that blade :D
As I read the description, I was thinking "WTF is STAMINA WOOD?! Those would have to go..."
THEN I read the rest of your post :rofl2:
Dope razor man. Hope it shaves well.
HI Glenn,
I have the same razor with snakewood handles. I bought it last year from a French vendor. It may be the most beautiful and unusual razor TI makes. The shave is astonishly close and comfortable.
It honed up with ease and keeps the edge.
Good luck with yours.

Come on then, what sort of replacement handles u gona dress her in?
Thinking maybe some type of bling bling Gold and some color acrylic and turning a matching brush handle for it... That is my first thought.... New razors are sort of special to me.. This will only be the second "new" one I have ever had...
Who knows maybe I will just fall in love with the warm glow and feel of the Stamina Wood?????? NOT !!!!!!! :rofl2::rofl2:
Glen, I'm going to laugh my arse off if that thing comes and you actually take a liking to the 'red stamina'...
I suggest you send it out to a honemeister first. :rofl2:Quote:

Please give a shave report once you've put a decent edge on there!
Nice, very nice! Could you let us know how you like it? You know the standard stuff! I am always amazed how the old forgings can be so good.

Hello.
Congrats on a beautiful new razor Glenn. I have a few questions about the TI razors that the KnifeCenter sells, as they are rather stingy on the specifications.
1. Is the difference between J84 and J85 only in the handle?
2. Other than the grind, what is the difference between J65 and the J85?
3. Are they all made from the same metal? What is that metal?
4. Are the blades new or restored?
Thanks.
Rudy
It is my understanding that each major vendor can chose the Gold Etch Names such as these are "Eagle" branding...
They can also chose the handle (scale) material for each razor...
Also as I count them I think there are 4 different steels that TI uses ???
The old blanks (Which really could be anything)
The older formula
The silversteel
The new formula
I might be missing some there I have never been a huge TI fan this one caught my eye at the right time....
Trust in that I will do a complete review of the razor though, like I said I this is only the second brand new razor I have bought...
sweet Glen! but those scales gotta go:beer1:
I was hoping that you'd enjoy having ordered a razor you don't have to do anything, except perhaps follow TI's "instructions", in order to shave, but I guess leopard just can't change its spots :D. I'm sure the razor will look even more fantabulous after your modifications.
Many close shavings on your razor, mate!
