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.

Everything it’s advertised. Nice sharp edge that give a wonderful shave.
This is a beautiful razor…and I can always count on Thiers-Issard to deliver their razors “shave-ready”. This was a great purchase from Grownman Shave…
Blade cut through facial hair smooth and effortlessly. Was very easily able to edge up facial hair lines. Blade definitely does not disappoint.
Amazing. Better than I could have imagined. The perfect compliment to anyone who wants to take the strop out of the equation.
Happy to have it
I custom-ordered my razor and had my name engraved on the spine. It took Thiers-Issard several months to complete the order, but I am immensely satisfied with the final product. In short, my razor is perfect. There is not a single point where it was not immaculately finished. The blade is stunningly sharp and precise- and has remained so for the last two months of use with stropping. I am confident this razor will outlast me and was absolutely worth the investment.
Fantastic razor which ensured a glass finish shave !
Dave, you have been phenomenal in your approach towards customers. Your values in treating the customers is worth the courtesy and reverence of all.
Thank you for such a great experience.
Thanks for the kind words Ashhar. I'm glad you are happy. I love the photo!
I’ve used this razor twice so far, the first shave out of the box was not as good as the second shave which came after honing it on a 12k stone. The razor scales are darker in real life which looks even better in my opinion. These 889 singing hollowed Thiers Issard razors are far better in performance than the 3 Dovos I’ve experienced; which is the whole point. Also, the nice black leather pouch is stiff, smooth, and durable; I don’t worry about messing it up like the soft brown leather pouch.
All TI razors are very good quality and this one is no different. TI razors come shave ready! Very pleased with the purchase!
5 stars ⭐ product was ship and received within the estimated delivery dates. The quality of the Thiers Issard Alum Block is the best. And Perfect for keeping a safe grip on my skin as I enjoy my morning ritual cut throat shave. And of course the thiers Issard alum blocks are amazing at helping to prevent razor burn and tightening the facial skin to prevent bleeding in case you are unfortunate enough to have nicked yourself during the classic straight razor shave.
