Sat 2nd January 2016.

Postman called with items from USA, which got here very quickly.

Nice clean early Schick Type G ? , with blades to compare with the Personna, which are for me very good.

Ordered the following. Just gotta wait for it to arrive.


Muehle R 41 Chrome Open Comb
Muehle KSR Blade Guard
Semogue 620 Pure Bristle Shaving Brush
Gillette 7 O'Clock SUPER Stainless blades (seem to be getting on with these at the moment)
and various (4) alum stones.

Think I've snagged a bit of an oddity, but I'm sure someone will put me right if I'm wrong. A fat handled tech with a solid rather than "punched" baseplate.

^ Hybrid Tech, I think. Bloody good catch! These have eluded me so far.

Essentially, it's a raised flat bottom 'New' but with the Tech safety bar rather than the 'New' comb.

If you hate it, send it my way

 

[alancrab]

not bad for a fiver inc postage then ;-)

 

[Wishbone]

Rhodium plated, too ............

Alan ....... a few of those (albeit cased) have gone through Fleabay lately for a damn sight more than a fiver + p&p

I'll give you sick squid ... you make a profit!

 

[alancrab]

Fraid not. Gonna hang onto it. Might send it out on a pass it round see if you experts can really tell any difference between it and a normal tech at a later date

 

[pjgh]

Bah! I had a lucky feeling for a minute
Seriously, great catch. Enjoy!

Received this a few days ago.

It's interesting - I have a number of NF brushes in that style of handle - but they they are all different in some way - height, proportions, etc. I wonder if that is by design or a result of Peter making these by hand. Doesn't matter in a way as they are all fantastic

Some similar looking NFs (the one above is #2 from the right):

Razorock Plissoft arrived today after ordering on 22nd December, not bad at all.
Got the Aramis edt after mooching around in Debenhams today for the princely sum of £9.20 (80% off) because of the 'damaged' packaging

My Christmas haul, Santa was very good to me this year.

The razor is the de89, I used to have one but I gave it to my brother a couple years back to get him into wet shaving. I forgot what a superb razor it is.
