Most definitely one of the most sought-after razors at present being made, the Celebration
Silverwing (Ailes d’Argent) is a superb example of the razor-maker’s art. Only 300
have been made and we were very fortunate to be able to obtain some for stock. Each
piece is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity which
reads thus:
“This numbered razor and its special numbered razor box commemorates the new forging
dies and new Carbonsong C135 Carbon Steel used from now on for new production of
Thiers-Issard razors. The new Carbonsong C135 steel has a carbon content previously
unequalled and this results in a Rockwell hardness of around 64-65 Rockwell in the
finished razor and an incredible edge! The new steel (as you will see) takes an absolutely
beautiful mirror polish. To show off this wonderful surface we have, by popular request
for this commemorative series, left off all marking on the blade hollow itself.
The forging dies of our razors have also been completely reworked with subtle improvements
made throughout the blade. This results in a superior grind and a thinner, better
cutting blade. For further information on this new razor and it technicity please
see the following web link to an article evaluating these fine razors -

Each one of these 300 pieces of this special commemorative razor comes with beautiful
Cocobolo wood handles, each inlaid with a numbered silver-coloured wing on its black
special razor box. We hope that you enjoy shaving with these razors as much as we
have enjoyed making them. Treasure them and pass them on to future generations!
- Mr. Gilles Reynewaeter - Thiers-Issard factory owner.”
There can be no doubt that here Thiers-Issard have created a truly outstanding razor
- photos simply do not do it justice. A really fine piece made to the very highest
standards.
