A Tale of 2 Brothers

Similar to much of my fave stuff, I liked my first Thiers Issard enough to buy a 2nd one.

Technically, these examples could have been forged one right after the other. There are subtle differences that may have lead to one being graced with the bling of rams horn scales and a French point while the other with utilitarian plastic scales and a plain round point.

One was honed post factory by my vendor using convexed surfaces and one with the factory edge. This prompted me to a side by side comparison for which the post factory edge wins by a hair.

I’ve seen and read where people won’t use a crowned surface hone because they cause a frowning edge. Funny though, I must be doing wrong because I can shape the edge any way I want with mine. In this case the factory edge of one came with a frown.....BAD TI.....you think they would have learned something after making razors for more than century. Truth is, you wouldn’t know the difference in shaving.

Anyhow, great shave other than the small stick I got from the point that is destined to be muted. Fortunately no more leakage than from topping skin imperfections.

2 razors like this, with some sharpening gear, and a man could be happily set for life. Anybody wanna tell me why I’m dilly-dallying with Chinese razors again?

 

Thanks, Joe!

I’m already eying another, but if I get it that’ll be it from him.

Thanks, Joe! I think I’ll be developing the same kind of re’ship with Bone Mosaic that you have with your Sprecher shave hatchet!

 

Congratulations, Andrew! I’ll look forward to your review.

 

Good shave, Paul!

 

Fabulous Pierpaolo!

 

That is one big brush.

 

Very nice shave Paul.

 

March Focus

Klar Kabinett~~Simpson 57~~Gillette #44/Voskhod~~Penhaligon's The Hammam
Happy spring TSD.
Spring weather calls for spring scents and in my den, that means rose.
Rose is one of those scents that is eternal and mystical.
Klar Kabinett shave soap really whips up to something special.

New Voskhod blade in the Gillette.
Three passes and some clean up added up to a lovely BBS shave.
Cleaned the soap off of my face with the not-pictured, DR Harris Pink AS.
Today's FOTD® is a scent first produced in 1872.
