Terminology - T1 etc

[Murielson]

Looking around I have noticed T1 being used I assume when talking about the state, quality of razors and just wondered if someone could let me know what this refers to or a link where I can find out.

May seem a simple question with an obvious answer but all questions are simple if you know the answer!! Many thanks in advance.

Are you sure it's not TI (rather than T1)... in which case it would be Thiers-Issard.

 

[huxley]

Yup has to be ti, i can't imagine it being anything else. :?:

Thanks for the responses folks. Defo T1 as in 'A 6/8” Straight Razor by Taylor Witness, For repair. T1'

Found on ebay whilst looking at what is around and ebay link below:

Ah, seller is called "taylor1000" - I suspect the T1 is linked to that.

Why not ask him?

 

[Murielson]

Will do - just thought the T1 might be a standard. Will see if I can find out and update.

Hi T1 stands for Taylors1000, I sometimes have consignment stock Like the Thiers Issard.
Its so I know which is which.

I would ask Tony I have been to his house and he is a straight up guy and will answer any question that you ask.

However I have no idea what T1 stand for

+1 on that I know Tony and he has as solid a rep as you could ask for.
