Thiers Issard Hollow Ground Fully Warranted ID PLEASE

**vvti713** · 07-06-2011, 11:35 PM

So I got this Straight Razor this past Christmas for myself off of ebay. i paid a little less than 140 for it. it seems to be in great shape except for the water stains it has..

i dont know if its a vintage that was restored or if it was just polished because the thiers issard seems to be stamped wrong. the ad didnt really have much description so i dont even know what kind of wood the scales are..there is an eagle stamped on it with the words "Hollow Ground Fully Warranted" it also came with a cool little leather case

PLEASE HELP (btw how can i remove the water spots)

I'll let others talk about the water spots but a couple things:
1. Dang, nice scales, dude.
2. Can I recommend keeping it out of the leather? It's cool, but moisture and razors / wood scales don't go well. Leather will absorb any moisture and keep that interior humid. Maybe its stainless, and maybe the scales are sealed well, but not sure if I'd chance it myself. Just my opinion.

I'm still a noob at this, and a cheapskate, so I'm an antique store guy and haven't hit the TI echelon of cost. I'm not certified to answer that question

most I've ever paid was 35 bucks, and that was using a gift certificate :P

If the blade doesn't have gold wash, "Flitz" or some other gentle metal polish should remove the water spots. Put some on a Q-tip, and rub gently.
