Thanks to its aluminium oxide abrasive, which is less aggressive than diamond, the Thiers-Issard sharpening paste is ideal for delaying the more complex basic sharpening (approx. every 2-3 weeks) a little longer. The paste is used to retain the sharpness for longer and can regularly be applied before each third or fourth shave. Rub a thin layer of paste into the cotton side of a hanging strop or the second leather side of the strop. First "sharpen" on the paste side and then finish on the leather side without paste.

Since 1884, traditional French company Thiers Issard in Auvergne has been making exquisite razors for wet shaving. The blades are made almost exclusively from Carbonsong C135 steel* with an extremely high carbon content of 1.35 %. Due to this high carbon content and the extreme hardness of 64-65 HRC, they can be ground to a very thin edge, thus providing the necessary sharpness for a comfortable shave. For a better grip, the underside of the tang is serrated on all razors. Leather pouch included.
