The way the base plate and top cap fit together resembles the Souplex Double Six a lot, at least to me.
Just googled that! I can see what you mean - I wouldn’t be surprised if that was one of the razors that Stirling took as inspiration !
 

Tortuga

The Spangle Maker
Dua Covet

Well my excitement has been well & truly extinguished.
From scent memory I would say it's pushing about 85 to 90% close but does not ignite that classic 90's Gucci Envy vibe. Underwhelming, weak & the atomiser sprays like a water pistol.
Dua usually hit the spot but this is a dud, avoid!
Send it back mate

Uni Star K, two plastic containers of 12 pencils each (both boxes are B); €6.84 / £5.86 per dozen, i.e. total €13.68 for 24 pcs.
Uni Ball Mitsubishi, two (green) paper boxes of 12 pencils each (one box is B and the other 2B); €3.74 / £3.20 per box.
Uni Star K, two (white) paper boxes of 12 pencils each (one box is B and the other 2B); €6.75 / £5.79 per box.
Prices exclude VAT (to be reimbursed as I put all these expenses under the company).

Early 2020 I had placed an order from a Japanese eBay seller for a dozen of these, but the COVID-19 crises came along and posting from Japan was suspended until further notice.
While at the time I had opted to wait, I contacted the seller few days ago and asked for a refund (which was granted).

Quick search and easy to find these in downtown Athens earlier this am...
Lately I have been mostly writing with pencils, using exclusively KUM or LYRA long point sharpeners.

Two humble yet classic German fountain pens as well, both with an 'F' nib.

ATT Windsor Pro.

I ordered this after I ordered the ATT SSRH but this has arrived first, so guessing there might have been a stock issue. Anodising on the razor is excellent and despite stand being a scratch and dent it also looks good. Can’t wait for the stainless to arrive,I’m looking at tracking it could be tomorrow.
