The other option was "high side chipping"... The tea cup I can serve tea to myself with, but not to others without premonishment (which, it so happens, is my new word of the day)Nice!
"High Side Clanging" - LOL! Never heard that phrase before, me likey
I bought one a few days back for the same reason, mine was still in the package and it was dated 1989 on the backThis arrived, mostly bought it for the 10 vintage Wilko blades, but the Classic type razor looks good, but can't date the razor - what do you reckon @Darkbulb from the '80s?

Thanks, the metal handle is a lot better quality than I thought. It looked like chromed plastic but it's far better than that.

The RAD continues, I received a few bits today. Please excuse the rubbish photos, I have only just unwrapped them and I photographed them on my desk:
This includes my first straight razor (now I'll to get it honed and buy a strop!), my second Rocket, what I believe to be a Gillette Goodwill and an Old Type with instructions, sadly the box has lost its lining.

They arrived today. I opened the package, my jaw hit the floor. My jaw is still on the floor. These things are gorgeous. Old, well worn, but gorgeous.
I grabbed some firewood and took a few quick pictures before the light faded. The razors are exactly as sent and haven't been cleaned be me at all.

Another small shaving lot - this one $16.
Three things in it - one I don't care for, one I'm happy about - and one I'm very happy about
Don't care for:
Yet another Col. Conk. badger brush.
Happy about:
NIB Merkur Mach 3 metal razor
Very happy about:
A very solid pewter mug with some nice weight to it made in Sheffield, England.
I like the lion's(?) head on top

Funny you should say - the profile is rather horseish to me.
Guess there were not too many lions in Sheffield to use as models

Omega Hi-Brush Synthetic
Super-Max Ultimate cream
Proraso Green Tea & Oat cream
TOBS Natural cream
Real Shaving Co. Sensitive cream
Looks (OK, *smells*) like a couple of those creams might be a bit much for me, but it's all part of the fun trying new stuff
Still waiting for the "It Will Save You Money" thing to kick in ...
The RSC cream is really good, it is generally in the pound shops for, wait for it, a POUND!!
