Bloody hell, 1 hr 28mins into 2017 and you have already earned yourself a banner - that has gotta be some kind of record

I don't think so @todras unless @filobiblic has already walk into @Monsta_AU minefield by mistake and got himself a very early 2017 Sabbatical Fail banner????

Missed out on posting this in December thread... Mum found this while she was cleaning out Nanna's unit...

Hopefully someone might know something about it?

That's because it was already applied in 2016!

A Crown & Sword, made by Ern. A Solingen razor that shaves beautifully. The box is for a different razor (Bengall). I'm sure there are many others here that could help you with condition, but to me this looks like it could be restored into a cracking razor. Lucky you.

Have 3 of these. As said looks like it's in good shape for a clean up and hone. Has a little extra wear at the toe but bevel looks clear of rust so worth the effort. Good luck

Tony Forsyth High Mountain White 2-band brush (26mm plug, 28mm socket, 52.7mm loft).

One shave in and quite impressed. Will post a review after 4 days use. Initial impressions are super soft tips with great backbone (we thought we may have set too low loft but it's great for me).

I presume that the AOS NOS Tallow is better than their current rubbish ...
