ALL OUR RAZORS HAVE THE STAMP ON THE TANG AS FOLLOWS: “CROWN THIERS-ISSARD, MADE IN FRANCE”
Our stamp is our THIERS-ISSARDTM warranty.
Always thoroughly dry our razors after use and ensure that they are free from moisture (blade and handle) when storing them. Indeed, our blades are made from 100% carbon steel which is the best quality steel but does rust if not kept dry.
For occasional use, the blade should be covered with Vaseline.
ALL OUR RAZORS ARE SHAVE-READY
ALL OUR RAZORS ARE PACKED IN A LEATHER POUCH AND IN A PRINTED “THIERS-ISSARD” WHITE CARDBOARD BOX WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE.
