Ah yes, almost forgot, this was in the parcel too: it's a new, 7/8, near wedge Thiers Issard with ivory scales.

Martin at Rasurpur, knew it just from the Goldbären

Lovely razor

 

[BakerAndBadger]

Thomas, you have a great taste in straights!

 

[Doc226]

That is gorgeous. My only problem is the pins. I hate the fake pins, specially with ivory.

 

[global_dev]

That's a beauty! I love it.

Looks like Rasurpur to me! Congratulations.

Beautiful razor - congrats.

I like the pins - I use them myself from time to time.
There's nothing fake about them - they've been around a long while and they work.
They're understated - and they put the focus on the blade and scales which seems appropriate here.

Excellent razor.

 

[Thomas Martin]

Thank you guys. Glad you like it. According to Martin these newly forged TI are made if particularly hard high carbon steel (1.35% carbon). I'm curious to see how this steel will behave. Especially on the hone.

pretty

Thomas, if you have any problems with it I'll meet you on the motorway in Switzerland in August on my way to Italy. I'll take it off your hands - a problem shared is a problem halved!

 

[Thomas Martin]

Thanks for the offer, Paul but I would not want to put you in trouble in case Italian customs catch you trying smuggling ivory into their country.

Nice I love gummy bears. The facial hair slicer ain't bad either.

 

[Captain Pre-Capsize]

Hooo boy, that is lovely.

My thoughts too.
Very nice razor Thomas
I have the same blade and it shaves awesomely.
I'm yet to put it on the hone though, heard they are HARD.

 

[CanonSterVa]

Wow
That is an incredible looking blade and with the ivory scales that makes it an awesome combination.
I am sure you sat back and enjoyed your new razor by eating the Candy.
