Thread: New offering from TI coming

Just a note to let you guys know that I've got my hands on a nice new 11/16 straight razor from TI. I've been trying it out and I'll hopefully have a review article along with some proper pictures thrown together in another day or so.

As promised, I've posted a review of this new Limited Edition Grelot Crown Silver Wing being offered by Thiers-Issard.

Thanks for the insightful review! I am sure TI lovers are already on the search.

Thanks for the comprehensive review of the Crown Silver Wing. I'm sure lots of people will be scrambling for them.

Great job on this review. Now if only I could find one.

i thinking of getting one of these, thanxs for reveiw

Great review, Thank you

Thanks for the great review, ignatz. I want it badly! I tend to prefer full hollows but this one looks so good and I believe it won't be a bad shaver .

I don't have, and have never used a TI. They look handsome, and from what I've read, seem to be addressing past quality issues w/ their stainless offerings, scales, etc. The historic blades are really beautiful.

What caught my attention here was that they were the last company offering a 1/4 grind - and then they stopped. They were the last ones to offer that grind. Seeing new production include the 1/4 grind is very encouraging, and I suspect they will be rewarded for doing this. Naturally, if you're the only company offering a 1/4 grind, you could keep this only in the higher cost lines, but I think they'd do better to have some lower cost version of this grind. A look at past threads on Grelots, and 'favorite blade' threads will show (wag) about 18% of the favorites being 1/4 grinds. Also note the majority of blades from R. Williams are in this grind also. It tells me that this is a niche with some following that a company could fill. I hope TI continues to do so. 'Would love to see Revisor do likewise. The wacker offerings are all but gone & supposedly there are no more blanks to finish.

Theirs Issard are some of my favorite razors. Some of them have quality control issues IME but I've never had one that wasn't a good shaver and I have more than a dozen. Great review Ignatz. I am not that enthused about the new offering because of the round point and the wooden scales. I just prefer exotic points and horn or bone scales. If biz picks up I might find myself picking one of those beauties up in spite of that though.
