Penguin thanks for the responce. I did not expect a reply from the east coast as its getting late. I'm at work all night, whats your excuse?

I'm in power generation. Rotating shift work sucks, but still the best job I ever had. LOL

Mine has bone scales not horn as I mistakenly stated above.
Its great scale material, and it just so happened to match the LeGrelot I have.

My dear Jimk,

I also have the Spartacus Thiers-Issard in creamy white bone scales with the dreadnought point you mention. In my estimation it is a magnificent razor in every way, from its beauty to workmanship and shave quality. Thus far, for me, it is the perfect straight razor in my modest razor collection.

I bought my Spartacus from Steve at the Invisible Edge. Steve is a gentleman to deal with and offers quality products with excellent service. He gets my highest recommendation.

I had intended to buy the "Le Canadien" version of it, too, with wood scales, from Rasage Poulin in Canada, but some work assignments fell through and the money ran out. I like this razor that much. I also have a high recommendation for Rasage Poulin. Owner Scott is another gentleman who offers quality and service.

Should you buy this razor in either version? Of course. If I had the money, I would love to have a seven-day set. Ah, well . . .

Regards,

Obie

Very nice of you to give me your thoughts on this razor, thank you. The beauty of this razor is what caught my eye. Do I need it? Well no, I allready have two very good preformers. But I'm still thinking of what it is that I can sell to acquire one of these.
