Thiers Issard registered the “Le Transatlantique” trademark in 1914, in honor of Jeanne Thiers, his sister, who adored ships and traveling. Up to today, the beautiful sailing ship transatlantic trademark dons the side of Thiers Issard straight razors’ tangs along with Jeanne’s English name, Jane.

This is a 188 blade from Thiers Issard with a polished mirror finish on each side of the blade. The 188 series takes more time to create the finishing polish leaving you an excellently hand-polished gem.

Abalone Scales: The abalone scales are the epitome of refined beauty. Each handle is uniquely patterned with iridescent colors that shimmer and shift with every movement, making your razor not just a tool, but a piece of art.

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.
