________________________________________________________________________

  The only Genuine 100% hand hammer forged Damascus Steel razors being make anywhere in Europe.  Produced in Thiers-Issard's own in-house forge by a single skilled craftman employing the traditional labor-intensive hand hammer forging techniques refined by centuries of experience.  Each razor is created from scratch, not simply ground out of commercially available Damascus Steel stock, as are other lesser quality razors.  Available in very limited quantity!  Damascus Steel was developed for use in the manufacture of the world's finest quality swords, knives, daggers, and other combatant equipment long before the advent of today's modern steels.  Long respected for its superior hardness and edge holding ability, it was feared on the the battle field for its ability to defeat blades forged of lesser quality iron and steel.  When genuine Damascus Steel is used as a blade in shaving razors, the edge that can be attained is absolutely fantastic.  Routine stropping will keep the edge fresh for years and the quality of the shave in terms of closeness and comfort is beyond description.  The natural graining produced, as a result of the laminating and forging, is left evident in the etched steel of teh Full Hollow Ground Round Tip 5/8 blade.  Only the blade's edge is highly polished.  File jimps on the underside of the shank provide a secure grip. 

 A truly striking effect and a thing of uncommon beauty. Due to the individual forging, grinding and shaping, no two of these very special razors are ever alike.

The finished blade is mounted to a very traditional Black Genuine Horn Handle and encased in a Custom Leather Pouch.

Whether as an addition to a valued collection or used as a daily shaver, this very special razor is certain to exceed your expectations.
