Thiers-Issard was founded in 1884 by Pierre Thiers, a skilled blacksmith with an extraordinary reputation for crafting exceptional straight razors. His legacy lives on today, as each razor is still handmade in France using traditional techniques; blades are forged from high quality Sheffield steel and paired with a variety of handsome and durable scale materials. Artfully designed and built to last, Thiers-Issard straight razors are heirloom pieces that truly elevate the shaving experience.
