    Default Thiers Issard 7-Day Sets

    Hello everyone! I am thinking of splurging on a very nice looking Thiers-Issard seven day set. My question is whether anyone has any intimate knowledge of the company and or their creation of these sets specifically? I know that their regular straights which I have purchased are not shave ready and needed to be honed before use. Are these sets given any special attention by them? Are they honed other than by a machine because of their special nature? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I don't know much about TI except that they're french and make nice razors so I can't really you help out there.

    Undream did a great job on a custom TI seven day set a while ago. http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...pic-heavy.html

    imacohiba,
    Thiers-Issard is a legendary French name in razors. This set looks quite handsome. If it's coming from Gary Haywood, I am sure it is also impeccable in every way.

    Welcome to SRP. TI is one of my favorite brand of razors. If you are an experienced straight razor shaver I would think you cannot go wrong. OTOH, if you are new to straight razor shaving I would suggest dipping your foot in the water with one or two entry level razors rather than diving into a 7 day set.

    I doubt the razors receive any special attention at the factory. I say that not ever examining one of their 7 day sets however I have several of their limited edition razors and they all suffer from the same QC problems as their regular razors.

    I finally received my set and I am super excited! thebigspendur was right, they did not receive any special attention from the factory so I got them all professionally honed. Thanks everyone for the previous information! Now anyone that wants to purchase one knows in advance they need honing to be shave ready.

    These are a couple from my iPad camera which really doesn't do them justice. They're 7/8 with a square point and oversized pure blonde horn scales. I also have included the link to where I bought them in case anyone is interested. Beautiful!

    It seems I can't turn the images around. Sorry everyone!
