LeeBot,
No, a Mk4 V5 Golf. "If only everything in life was as reliable...." as the advert.
Still admiring the utter filth in the posts above.

Have they opened up a waiting/ordering list?

No they will just go on Phil's site when they're in stock.

Seem a bit bigger than a face cloth to me. Made in England though, so almost certainly not very modern.Sold as, I'm expecting bar towel size for some reason though. I think it's the size of the tag on another picture. I'll do one for scale when they turn up.
for me for the British towel manufacturers.Digging through the Care Label history online I can confidently date these from 1980 to 1982, so last century

I'm a face latherer but it's something nice to stick my razor in or wedge a puck in there.

Pretty excited about this one - a BRW handle.
Some info from the ad/seller:
"The handle
"one of a kind custom safety razor handle made by Robert 'Cooncatbob' Smith of Bob's Razor Works aka BRW.
I commissioned Bob to make me a modified version of his 'improved' handle.
The result is a handle that is approximately 3 1/4 inch long and 7/16th in diameter.
It is made from brass and is nickel plated.
The handle was complete by Bob on 12/19/2011 and has been a safe queen ever since.
After Bob's passing, I never had the heart to use it and have only admired it ever since. I am hoping it finds the home of someone who can truly appreciate Cooncatbob's work.
The head
I am including an unused open comb head from a Merkur 1904 which is also plated in nickel to match the handle.
I purchased the 1904 Merkur when I bought the cooncatbob handle.
At the time, Merkur was plating them in nickel to match the 1904 theme. Once Merkur came out with the closed comb 1904, they changed the plating to chrome so they could take the chrome closed comb heads off the factory line instead of making separate batches of nickel plated heads. "
