We’ve teamed up with the legendary razorsmiths of Thiers-Issard to make an heirloom-quality razor that we feel is refined but robust for use as a daily shaver. Founded in 1884, blades by Thiers-Issard have an enduring reputation for quality.

Pre-Order Instructions:

Choose your scales material and indicate the number of razors you’d like to pre-order below. Once sales hit the required threshold, we will place the order with Thiers-Issard, and pre-order prices will increase. Once we start honing and shipping pre-orders from our workshop, the price will be updated to full MSRP. We will post any updates to the product page and our newsletter. Finally, if too few folks pre-order within 60 days after the date of this announcement and we never place the order with Thiers-Issard, then everyone gets a refund.

UPDATE 10/3/2022: Order placed with Thiers-Issard! Pre-order prices for the remaining units have increased, and production is underway.

Archived announcements:

UPDATE 3/31/2022: Razors have arrived at our workshop in Portland, Ore. and are being honed and inspected individually prior to shipping. If you pre-ordered a razor, keep an eye on your inbox for a shipping notification; orders will be fulfilled in the order they were received. Thank you all again for your patience and support!

UPDATE 3/23/2022: our friends at Thiers-Issard requested we re-send the engraving files, so razors are currently being made but are behind schedule. Thank you all for your patience! You can still pre-order at a discounted rate until razors arrive from France, at which point prices will increase to full MSRP.

UPDATE 2/2/2022: WOW! We hit the pre-order threshold in under 24 hours following the release! Order placed, prices increased (still heavily discounted), will update again once razors are in-hand for honing.
