Overview
A full hollow ground blade is the working part of the Thiers Issard Le Dandy, a classic straight razor finished in black. The grind thins the steel behind the edge, and the razor is drawn across lathered skin by hand with an edge that is maintained, not swapped.
Thiers Issard offers a narrow hollow ground blade in a plain black classic package, a sensible start for someone learning straight razor technique. The listing is thin, so steel, scale material and edge condition on arrival stay unknown until it is in hand.
Who it's for
Traditional wet shavers who look after their own edges will get the most from this narrow hollow ground blade. Someone wanting a cartridge style shave with no stropping or honing routine should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Full hollow grind thins the edge
- Light in the hand
- Classic black styling
- No disposable blades to buy
- Steel, scales and edge readiness not listed
- Needs stropping and honing skill
- Sparse manufacturer description
Performance notes
Shave quality on a straight razor is governed by the edge, the angle held against the skin and the stropping done before each use. A full hollow grind thins the blade behind the edge, which adds flex and feedback but leaves less mass to push through dense stubble.

Frequently asked questions

The listing gives the blade width in its title and an item weight, but no overall or handle length. Check with the maker if handle length matters for your grip.
