Very Nice

Very nice razor. Just like the instructions said I shaved with it about 4 times without even stropping in on my hanging leather and it performed beautifully. I like the extra bit of weight that the 6/8 and half hollow grind give it.

Best Bang For Buck

I’ve been using straight razors to shave with for over 10 years and the TI razors IMO are the best shaving mass produced razors you can buy today (yes, waaaaay better than ANY of the German ones). And this particular one is a “half hollow” grind meaning it’s even more comfortable on your face when you get the edge right on your sharpening stones. Also, this is the best price I’ve seen for this particular razor. I send all of my YT followers and customers here for this razor for their best first razor or for advanced guys.

TI makes great razors

"Special Coiffeur" 6/8" is a great entry level TI razor coupled with KC.com's great price is a winner.

perfect shaver

Perfect every day shaver. Comes shave ready, clean the camelia oil strop and shave. It has a nice edge and the 6/8 size is perfect for a beginner. The plastic scales are not flimsy as some other brands. The leather pouch included but it is not as high end as the individual TI pouch KC sells, still a nice to have addition not included with Bokers or Dovos. For the quality price combo, this is a good choice. Besides KC's customer service proved to be ver good (based on a recent experience). Hope this proves to be helpful Cheers

Solid shaver, shave ready

I ordered this from KC, so as to have another straight to use in rotation. When it arrived, the "directions" from Thiers Issard suggested not even stropping it until it had been used at least 3 or 4 times. Although somewhat skeptical, I tried it and they weren't kidding. This is an excellent shaver, and really was shave ready. It's not gorgeous but does a very good job on my medium beard, and is part of my regular rotation with two Dovos. Like one of the other reviewers suggested, it would probably be a good starter straight razor, as it is more forgiving than a 5/8 full hollow ground. Vivre la France!
