    Default New TI Mine Mine Mine !!!

    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 ....

    Awesome razor. I am really very, very (did I mention very?) jealous! Sigh...

    For that price you could have bought a Hart Steel Glen. OMG I can't believe I just said that. 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

    Jeez Louise!! Here I am showin' off my old ebay Boker that I got on the cheap and you guys bring on the Bling Bling TIs. It's enough to drive a man to shave! In other words, I guess I need to buy a new TI!

    Beautiful straights BTW!

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

    Stefan I think that is the same blade, BTW they shave really well I have honed quite a few, but I hardly ever buy new razors for myself...

    Glen,
    I thought they are different because yours is 7/8 mine is listed as 6/8 (might be a typo or something) .
    Also do you know what kind of grind is yours? mine is listed as 1/2.
    Stefan
