Thread: My first Thiers-Issard

I have a TI Special-Coiffeur like that one (in fact purchased it from a member here) and it's a fine blade. That model in particular is also affordable and IMO just as good as other more expensive models. If you get really hooked, get 7 of them and give yourself a 7-day set.

I did that with a Henckles Friodur 5/8. I had one for a couple of years and loved it, and somebody here was selling 7 of them. I'm sure glad I did! (I would have been just as happy with the Special-Coiffeur.)

Amen to that! I bought one TI 6/8 Special Coifeur, fell in love with it, and ordered up a second to make my own gentle and set!

I own about 20 vintage TI's, but not buying a new one without seeing it first.

Have fun.

What is your favorite Brand or razor Lynn?? I know its a difficult question,, or perhaps.. what are your favorite 5 razors??

Very nice blade. I also have a TI but is a Grelot.. and lately I was going to order from Vintage Blades just this one that you got .. It looks simple but I have no doubt is a fine shaver

I have a silver wing, not my favorite blade but still very very nice
