Finally got around to trying one of the NOS Special Sheffield Stainless Steel blades and the Fat Tech razor that they came with. Thanks to @Blademonkey and @StephenShave for giving me a nudge to try try these as well.
Superb result, not surprising really based on the tools. I already have a thin handle version of this Gillette tech and this is now my fourth Wickhams 1912 soap so the razor, soap and brush were all known. The NOS blade was excellent, no idea how old the blades are but this one shaved well. As usual the 30mm Maseto loads enough soap for a weeks worth of shaving but this is now my favourite brush, the splay is not too big for the knot size, maybe due to the fan shape.
