Description

This 5/8 pre-owned red stamina forged spine razor from Thiers Issard is a most unusual example. I don’t recall having seen this spine pattern before and indeed all of the forged patterned spine razors from Thiers-Issard available now are in 6/8 only.

The carbon steel blade of the razor has a mirror finish to both sides with the Spartacus mark in its gilt version on the face of the blade.  The tang has jimping to the lower side and bears the Thiers Issard marking.

I am selling this on behalf of a collector. There are some minor indentations around one of the pivot pins but otherwise it is in excellent condition. The red stamina scales still bear the sticker from when the razor was new.

The blade has a slight bend to it so it would catch on the scales if allowed to close without intervention. But a gentle push when closing is sufficient. The price reflects this.

A really interesting buy for someone.

Supplied with a black leather wallet as shown.

Images are of the actual razor for sale. As with all our razors, this will be supplied ready to use in accordance with our shave ready policy.

This French manufacturer only produces the finest straight razors and is World renowned for the quality and finish of all their goods. Thiers-Issard razors are not just of high quality but also exhibit great flair and style, combined in many cases with historic designs, to result in the most desirable razors.

If you are looking for a luxury razor then we recommend you take a look at the more expensive Thiers Issard razors. Some have hand worked spines, some of which use designs which date back to the 19th Century and, when combined with natural horn scales make for unique and stunning razors.

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.
