Isn't it, it looks far better in the hand than it does in the picture but you can still see its one gorgeous brush, thanks.That is one gorgeous brush.
The razor is fab but the box is fab +1 nice find.View attachment 20901 View attachment 20902 View attachment 20903 View attachment 20904 Got hold of an English 1912 Ever Ready, with Bakelite box (c/w little compartments to store blades) from the bay. Small chip on box; but razor looks in great condition, with a typically strong spring (it's great how the 1912 patents retain their strength; considering they could have been built 1912-1930s/40s).
I'm looking forward to comparing with the US 1912 for performance; as the latter according to those in the know is the milder.
Thanks Bud. It closes beautifully too. It's clearly kept the razor in great condition, with (I suspect) minimal use over the last 70-odd years.The razor is fab but the box is fab +1 nice find.
Feathers work really well in aTech for me too.You're very welcome, Paul - enjoy. I used one of your Feathers tonight:sublime in a Tech.
Yep, sharp blade in a mild razor seems like great match.Feathers work really well in aTech for me too.

Fantastic, I haven't been shopping in London for years, I used to love Oxford st and the ones you mentioned, I could do some serious spending in London so maybe it's just as well!View attachment 20952 Had a day off today, popped into Taylors of Old Bond Street, although they're actually in Jermyn St(?) & bought a wooden bowl(just the bowl) for a soap I have. Crossed the street, into a small shopping alley & into my favourite shaving shop in London where I bought 2x Gillette silver blues & 2x bath soaps. The soaps are smashing. I don't know the name of the shop because weirdly, it doesn't have a name! Honestly. It's very quirky though.
