In Thiers, France, there have been two main straight razor manufacturers for over 100 years—Thiers Issard and Hospital. When Thiers Issard acquired Hospital in the 20th century, their expertise was combined to produce this beautiful razor. The hollowed carbon steel blade is extremely sharp and suitable for enthusiasts and professionals alike. This blade has been handmade the same way at Thiers Issard since 1910.

Thiers Issard was founded in 1884 by Pierre Thiers, a skillful blacksmith known for exceptional handheld blades. The family business continued through Pierre’s wife and sons well into the 20th century, and the handmade blades are still produced in central France today. Thiers Issard stands by its product, offering repair, resharpening, and renovation of its products. This, and all Thiers Issard blades, will certainly stand the test of time.
