Which Thiers-Issard razor?

Hi,
I am new to straight shaving and looking for a good starting razor.
I read this forum for about month now and got a lot of useful information great work guys, really well done.:thumbup:
I am looking to spend max around £100. Those are (at least in my opinion ) best options I have:
Le Dandy,
Special Coiffeur,
Basic Spartacus
All here http://www.thiers-issard.co.uk/thiers-issardstraightrazors.html at Thiers-Issard UK.
Another ones are
NEW - "Le Grelot" - The famous Le Grelot Series
Shoulderless historical 6/8 Le Grelot - 3/4 to Full Hollow Grind - Satin Finish
Thiers Issard "Luxury Entry Razor" - 5/8 or as NEW 6/8
Grelot like Thiers Issard 11/16 - between 1/4 to 1/2 hollow
Those are here http://www.rasurpur.de/english/shop/shop.html at Rasurpur.de

I would like this razor to serve me for the next few or even tens of years, stay sharp and shave well.
I would appreciate your opinions about which one to choose. Can I ask as well for some cons and pros.
Ah yes and yes I read the posts and reviews here however there isn't anywhere clearly said which one is better etc.
Thank you for help
Best Regards Mike
 
You have good taste :thumbup1:. Any of those you have found will serve you well. I have 3 TIs, one of which is a LeGrelot Hospital. They are wonderful shavers. However, you shouldn't expect these things to remain sharp for decades as you have eluded to. They will need maintenance/honing periodically to stay shave ready. The frequency of honing will depend on how you shave and take care of the blade

just my 2 cents. Martin at Rasurpur is a great gentleman.
 
The Le Grelot. You're Welcome. I have 2, 5/8 Solingen family razors. The 6/8 Le Grelot is like nothing else.
 
Thank you for those answers, as I see the Le Grelot is the best for now, and maybe anyone have some more opinions or have the razors and can compare them?
Regards
