Thiers Issard - Serial 188 Rol Soleil Straight Razor, Round Point, 6/8"
The Thiers Issard Serial 188 6/8" straight razor is a fully hollow-ground masterpiece, crafted for shavers who demand a nimble blade with exceptional cutting finesse.
Forged from 100% carbon steel, the 6/8" round nose blade offers a smooth, controlled shave while the extra-thin grind delivers the keen, responsive feel that Thiers Issard is renowned for.
Both sides of the blade are mirror polished, highlighting the elegant ROI SOLEIL mark and giving the razor a refined, luxurious presence at the sink.

- Finish: 188 profile, both sides mirror polished
- Jimps: Anti-slip jimps on top and bottom of the tang for secure grip

The ergonomic tang features anti-slip jimps on both the upper and lower sides, helping to keep your fingers planted firmly in place when shaving, especially with wet hands.
This razor is paired with a moon composite handle that balances the blade beautifully and adds a contemporary aesthetic to this classic French design.
Every Thiers Issard razor arrives shave-ready, presented in a luxury soft calf leather pouch with sliding tongue closure, and then boxed in a printed Thiers Issard cardboard presentation case complete with care instructions.
Because the blade is forged from 100% carbon steel, it is important to thoroughly dry both blade and handle after every shave and store the razor away from moisture.
For occasional or infrequent use, a light coat of vaseline on the blade will help protect the edge from rust between shaves.
