Thread: TI spartacus great shave

Was just offered a one year old only used Thiers-Issard 11/16 Spartacus with faux tortoise scales. What do you think it is worth? Can't find anyone in US who sells them.

TI straight razors

Last week I bought a very different Spartacus than yours, and it gave me one of the smoothest shaves ever.

It is a TI Spartacus 5/8 full hollow in aluminum scales.
It is a great shaver:

Moderator Note: We do not provide valuations on razors. Finding the price of a new razor still in production is easy on the internet. Prices of used items vary greatly from person to person and day to day. In the end it is worth what you are comfortable paying for it.

I wonder if this is a light reflection or the razor has a frown?

It’s a reflection mainaman. The razor is in perfect condition.
I post the worse quality photos in the forum.

I'm very, very happy with the performance of my 1/2 hollow TI spartucus (snakewood sclaes). Was curious if anyone else could vouch for this razor's fantastic shave.
I got losts of other razors that give supurb shaves but nothing comes close to this one, I also have a full hollow TI spartacus which IMHO is a close second.
I've heard lots of good stuff about duble duck wonder edge and Filharmonica but can't compare as I don't yet own thes razors. I can't imagine anything better, it's as if the whiskers aint there? Maybe it's a factory freak?
I'm not plugging TI as I have other quality issues about these razors, though the spartacus brand does seem to be a good performing razor to me.
Feedback welcome

I cant speak on the sparticus but I have two TI's and they are both great shavers IMHO. Im particularly fond of my LeGrelot

What know issues are there with the Spartacus razors? Also, what razor would you recommend?

The one I purchased was originally bought at Fendrihan - Classic Wet-Shaving, Leather Wallets and Gifts For Men, incredibly sharp, even light pressure gives me a cut. No quality problems though.
