TI 5/8 Le Grelot Medaille D’Or Snakewood

£180.00

New from Thiers Issard this 5/8 straight razor has been hand made using traditional methods going back to 1910. Le Grelot is a trade mark with much history, now owned by Thiers Issard.  This particular razor has a satin finish to both sides of the blade which bears the historic Le Grelot Medaille D’Or mark. The scales are made from snakewood which as its name suggests has a distinctive mottled scale like pattern and gives this particular razor a uniquely interesting look. Unusually for TI it has a half hollowed grind, meaning the blade is slightly stiffer, thus making it a perfect choice for beginners and those with a more wiry or coarse beard growth. Beautifully presented in a stylish retro cardboard box.

Description

New from Thiers Issard this 5/8 straight razor has been hand made using traditional methods going back to 1910. Le Grelot is a trade mark with much history, now owned by Thiers Issard. In 1924 Pierre and Louis Thiers exhibited their razors in Algiers and were awarded a gold medal for excellence. The Medaille D’or mark celebrated this achievement. This particular razor has a satin finish to both sides of the blade which bears the Le Grelot Medaille D’Or mark. The scales are made from snakewood which as its name suggests has a distinctive mottled scale like pattern and gives this particular razor a uniquely interesting look. Unusually for TI it has a half hollowed grind, meaning the blade is slightly stiffer, thus making it a perfect choice for beginners and those with a more wiry or coarse beard growth.

Thiers-Issard strops are all made to high standards using air and kiln-dried European Beech. The facings are real leather, not artificial as in some strops, and the leather used for wallets is the finest Baragnia hide.

If you have invested in a Thiers-Issard straight razor, it follows that you will want to look after it. Take a look at the range of high quality wallets and boxes we stock from Thiers-Issard in materials such as Baragnia leather, varnished Beech and Burl Elm.
