Blade with round head and full hollow, polished to a mirror finish.
Razors by Thiers-Issard
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 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.

* Carbon steel is far superior to rustproof steel as far as sharpness is concerned. The supposed disadvantage of rust susceptibility is offset by following the care instructions.

Care instructions: After shaving, clean the knife with pure water and dry thoroughly. If the razor is not used over a long period of time, it should be slightly oiled (e.g. Camellia Oil, No. 705280).
