I'm pleased you like it. Lovely isn't it?
Its all subjective I guess. I like the 89 but find it hard to wear. It's an absolute classic and I wanted to like it more than I actually did, it is very nice but just not for me.What’s the Floris 89 like, I keep getting tempted to order some?
Aside from the Supermax Blue Diamond I've not tried any of those blades before.View attachment 126514
Mail call the last 2 days.
My new Texas flag razor arrived,
A cracking selection of blades sent to me from our good pal @chard52142 I love the JAWS blades and have been after some for ages.
@pjgh and @NotTheStig have you tried any of those in the picture? I view you both as the forum Blade experts.
Lastly the Midnight soiree halloween 2024 with the Skull of my friend Stanford included.

Might be worth getting a sample to try first, it's of its time.

Muhle Medium Silvertip synthetic with faux ivory handle. The Silvertip fibre is perfect for me.
My favourite brush is my Muhle travel brush. This is the same knot with an everyday, home-y handle. The handle seems a very good fit for my arthriticky claws. This is the medium size (21 mm) but still seems small… I just love small brushes.
As a lot of you say about your acquisitions… it looks really classy in the flesh.
Will be trying it out as soon as I finish typing this…

Managed to nab a Gillette 'new' long comb in pretty decent condition. Plating is in really good nick barr a few blemishes, and a very small crack on the handle.

Very nice indeed! As it happens, I've planned to shave with this model over the weekend - the slim bar in the baseplate, but I don't have the handle and so swapped onto a nice period bakelite handle.
Good catch mate!
If you swap handles make sure it will fit in the space provided, that particular baseplate requires a small diameter top part.

The Gillette blade that was in it had an A3 code on it, 1930. Crazy to think it hasn't been used in nearly one hundred years.that's a beauty.fine shaver1930 ish model,no patents on baseplate.
