Jumped on the ERA train

They've been discontinued. and all razors and parts are on sale at DEEP discounts.

Convinced me, now a collectors item aren't they, and soon to be unobtanium.

Sorry, that was a dig at some of our Australian compatriots who get overly excited about a bunch of nags tanking around a certain racetrack once a year.

Thanks for the clarification

Proserpine Razor Company are back in business as a full time razor manufacturer, selling via Facebook and eBay (seller: bessiemoo14 ). This razor is essentially a copy of one supplied to Steve in Adelaide ( @bald as ) some time ago, see here.

What a beauty. Glad he's back in action.

Have gotten back into this hobbie with a bang. Making up for lost time…

Haven’t shared much of the bits and pieces, but here’s one thing.

Got a leather razor case off Etsy. Monogrammed of course. Pretty chuffed with it. Seems quality enough.

Also, pictured is the Timeless 95 from @Gargravarr / @StratMan. It’s been passed around, but I think it’s found a long-term home.

Love the case...looks sweet

On the inside, is the razor protected from the backside of the button, if that makes sense?

If yes, would you mind sharing the store @MrT ?

Yep. There is a little strip of leather on the inside to protect from the press stud. You can see it in the third photo in the listing. Here is one I just took of mine:

Personalized Vintage Distressed Leather Razor Travel Case - Etsy Australia

This Razors item by DMleatherStudio has 100 favorites from Etsy shoppers. Ships from China. Listed on 27 Oct, 2022

www.etsy.com

That’s the listing. DMLeatherStudio is the name of the shop.

Obviously can’t comment on long term durability, but it seems pretty decent on first inspection.

The monogram is laser etched. Probably would prefer old school pressed… but this is still pretty good.

One thing I’ll add is that the timeless was a tight fit. If you have a crazy fat handle you may not get it in. And the leather marks as you slide the razor in (gets lighter, you can see in the photo). I think it’s because it’s raw leather or whatever. If you give it a rub the mark goes away. I don’t mind it. Love that raw look.

Glad you're enjoying it, it's a fantastic razor. Just didn't fit in with my SE lifestyle. Have you tried it with the German Wilkie yet? That's a magical combo for me, and I almost kept it on the strength of that.

Thanks. I doubt it's NOS, but it is supposed to be "in near mint condition" according to the seller. We'll see ...
