Welcoming my third Thiers-Issard to my razor family, falling in love with these TI's more and more.

I've got to get me one of those TI's some day.
I really like that point.

Good looking TI that one. You keep this up and you might convince me I need to get a TI.

Congratulations. That is one beautiful straight razor.

Thanks - shaved with it the other day, and just like my other TI's, it's almost a religious experience, just enough heft that you feel like you have something in your hands, and it's weight glides itself over your face, yet not so heavy that it isn't easily controlled.

As I mentioned, after just over a year, I seem to be landing more and more in the TI camp.

Do you have an opinion as to how TI's shave in comparison to Dovo's and modern day Bokers? I have one each, but I'm lusting after a TI, and I'm wondering if they're worth the premium price.

I have two Dovo's, one half-hollow 5/8 Best Quality and one full hollow 6/8 Bismarck, the older one with the inlay on the scales.

Both shave well, the Bismarck is excellent, found it a bit harsh at first, but is fantastic nonetheless.

The TI's are all C135 Carbon, all extra-hollow, and for me, a step up from all the shavers I have. Also have a Boker King Cutter.

In my opinion, for me, the TI's hit my sweet spot, others it's the Double Ducks, or the W&B Wedges...each to their own.

But as the saying goes, you won't know till you try one....

What is not to love here? Really nice blade. Nice worked spine and beautiful scales. I love my TIs. Congrats!
