Description

This is a pre-owned 6/8 Thiers Issard razor which has the Wolf and Ram blade marking in gilt and black on the blade front. The blade is made of carbon steel, has a mirror finish, and a round point. It has a thumb notch with jimping underneath to the lower tang.  The spine has the hand worked historic festonne design which is set off beautifully by a the very unusual scales. These are primarily made of snakewood but have (what I believe to be) ebony inset at either end. I have never seen scales like this on another Thiers Issard razor and suspect they may have been a prototype. This razor is being sold on behalf of a collector and is very good condition save for a small trace of corrosion on the blade about one centimetre from the point which can be seen on the photographs.

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.

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.

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.
