"Honing starts out on a Chosera 1000 Wet stone were I begin to set the bevel. Once the bevel outline is finished I move onto the Chosera 3000 where the bevel is cleaned up and refined. Next its on to the polishing stage which starts out on the Aishyama 6000 and moves to the naniwa 12000. After the 12k, a perfectly good shave can occur. But we like to take it one step further and finish with a high polish on the Suehiro Gokumyo 20000." Eric, Razor Miester. After honing, the blade is stropped, oiled, and arrives shave ready! Please do not strop this razor before your first shave.

History: In Thiers France, there were two main blade manufacturers for over 100 years - ‘Thiers Issard’ and ‘Hospital’. When Thiers Issard acquired Hospital in the 20th century,  their expertise was joined to produce this beautiful razor. The half-hollowed carbon steel blade is extremely sharp, suitable for enthusiasts and professionals alike. This blade has been handmade the same way at Thiers Issard since 1931.
