Interesting, and convenient that they kept the dimensions similar enough for the blades to be interchangeable. I might visit these razors one day...
Maybe I should complain ...and see where that gets me. 
Was very tempted to add Noble Otter Hamami Shaving Soap and Aftershave to the parcel but don't know if I want to tempt fate with SWMBOInteresting, and convenient that they kept the dimensions similar enough for the blades to be interchangeable. I might visit these razors one day...
It has been many a decade since Mme Gargravarr has remarked on my shaves.
They look like a couple of great Junior Bars. I'm glad to see you found one with the wooden handle. I think you are going to enjoy some fantastic shaves.It's the tropics afterall, "when it rains it pours" 2 x Gem Junior Bar with blades and stropping tool
Been outbid on a few lather catchers with wedge blades, therefore still avoiding that rabbit hole for now.
It is pretty polarising. I was actually tempted the other day to get some more anyway, but decided cowardice is the better part of wisdom.
Don't start..... Don't want another heart attack since MWF & Tabac gave us all KAOS!!Incidentally, I wonder if the king is going to renew that royal warrant now he's no longer Prince of Wales.
I was admiring that brush on Troy's youtube channel yesterday. I was nearly going to ask if it was already soldGot a little something in the mail from @TroyTools
Very nice little box too.
25mm badger knot and the handle is a timber called Osage Orange, as some of you may know I used to make archery tackle and this timber was highly regarded used extensively by many groups of native Americans for their bows, it is not common here in Australia but had been imported to use as a wind break by early immigrants from the US.
I have had this stave sitting around for about 10 years as it wasn’t good for a bow due to poor shape but it sure does make a beautiful brush.
I can see a split crack on the wooden handle aboveThat really was quite a unique wood to turn, the chips and dust looked as if they were fluorescent as they sat allover the lathe and floor.
I recently overpaid for some small pieces of Australian desert hardwoods at the Maleny Wood Festival. They'll be made into handles quite soon. Gidgee, Supple-jack, and even some Budgeroo which has yellow resin filling the cavities. One Budgeroo handle is made already, I'm just monitoring it for stability and any potential movement between the materials before showing it off.
How did you survive without it before?Atoma 400 arrived
So I lapped all the stones
A very minor line in the grain along part of it's length. I treated it gradually with CA glue as the cuts went deeper into the wood. Unfortunately that just something that happens with old wood, but that doesn't mean its not good for anything. CA does a great job filling minor defects in wood.
Will see how long your wooden handle will last before it does ROT!!
Long after @SpeedyPC is gone only his stash of soap and that handle will remain.
I like that. I have to get a houn one made at some stage. Maybe for my birthday.Got a little something in the mail from @TroyTools

Nice!! I have a Cooktown ironwood bokken which is lovely but weighs a ton.That really was quite a unique wood to turn, the chips and dust looked as if they were fluorescent as they sat all over the lathe and floor.

So used for Suburi and not contact then?
