Gillette Slim Adjustable. Love the weight and feel of this new razor.
I also purchased a neat rubber mat to rest and protect my razors on my wash basin.

It wasn't cheap as it's a coffee tamping mat HERE

You can cut down a rubber car mat from the pound shop if you want a cheaper option.

You gave me an excellent idea. We have rubber gasket sheets at work! I think I'll 'recycle' some of that.

That'll do nicely and will protect your precious razors from dings and surface damage.

Had two lovely, but very different things arrive while I was out. I'll photo them in tomorrow's daylight.

Received a couple of Wolfman "Darwin" handles in the mail - one polished and one satin - as well as a Wolfman razor stand;

Here they are - satin one sporting a satin Wolfman DC head and the polished head a BBS-1 head;

The stand is hands down the nicest one I've seen and hold a razor in an almost majestic way;

Quick video here showing off the handle and stand a bit.

I already have some Wolfman items but am constantly surprised at the quality and craftmanship - everything was absolutely perfect.
