'aye :D

Being a 1912 Man, this is the holy grail for me ... not one, but two.

Streamline? Ha!

This is the main reason I came to you instead of BST. I know how much you love these razors. Ultimately that was important to me, for it to go to someone who loves it. I'm honoured to have owned it :)

This is a keeper. It will be loved! It's my precious ...
And there's me thinking you were finally going to buy a proper razor.



I've lost track of what came out when.
I guess if others have mentioned it, it must be the Blackbird this year.

Not bought much this year at all. Razor wise, nothing has lived up to my Merkur 34c but the 11c that Andreas kindly sold me comes close. The Simpsons Commodore X3 I bought seems to get better with every use so is up there too. Fox's 1912 Parma Violet soap is amazing as well.

Hmm, I'll go with the Commodore. Won't be paying more for a brush anytime soon.

Schick G8, which I imported from the US for buttons. Been a revelation to me. Pretty much the only razor I have used in 2016 :bravo:

My Korium scuttle. It keeps lather warm for a 3-pass shave; and the Merkur 39c. It is the razor I use 90% of the time.

Me next....only posting to brag, but it's my favourite razor at the moment.
A Gillette No 15, in its box, lost its plating, shaves great and snapped up for a bargain £5 in an antiques shop.
(I wasn't sure of its worth at the time, but I knocked him down from £6.)
