Thiers-Issard "Super Gnome" Black, 6/8
are you sure of size? TI super gnome is 3/8
when you buy it from a reputable dealer and it is properly honed it is a great razor.
@Sterm really? it is a 6/8
enjoy,
jim
I had seen it in 3/8 and because of the name was thinking that was the only size.
Yuo may never be sure with TI blades.
Well, there are 3/8 and even 2/8 super gnomes
Super Gnome 3/8
SuperGnome 2/8
Sorry i was rude... further investigation though has them as 5/8 and 6/8 .... when sold as "thiers-issard" and the smaller 3/8 and 2/8 with the "le grelot" trademark
and since "le grelot" is a brand of t-i, i stand corrected.
jim
I think it's still more complicated. You can find "TI 3/8 super gnome" with solingen trademark too.

You can read that (for small size) they were using historic blanks that got somewhere on the market.
Maybe (?) for large sizes it's new TI forgings.
Erik,
EveryTheirs-Issard razor I have ever come across has been a top quality razor & shaver. I've encountered one exception, but it wasn't the razors fault...just the person who used a dremel tool to "buff it out".
