ROTFL - I bet they don't have anything that modern... about 6 or 7 years ago my late granny wanted a new companion set for her fire - searched everywhere and found nowt... went in this place and they had a choice of about 2 dozen. Most of them from the 1950s & 1960s.... but it wasn't just companion sets they had, all sorts of stuff you'd not seen for 30+ years. All BNIB - it was no antique shop - a bleeding ironmongers.

Not many places you can go and buy a spokeshave off the shelf... this was one. I hope it's not closed or changed
 
OK so it was going to be a restrained week, but now I have a shiny new Merkur Futur in Chrome that the postman had just dropped off

Looking forward to trying it out.
 
1955 Redtip SS and a cake of Van De Hagen soap sent to me by an american friend - who the Wife calls my "Pen Pal" in sarcastic tones!!

Never tried the VDH so will be interesting to see how that goes.
