    Nice brush, Bob, what's the loft and can you choose your own loft?

    Thanks Jamie. Couldn't tell you the loft till it arrives here as I did not specify one when I ordered it. I imagine you could specify your own loft when ordering. A quick email to them should provide an answer though.

    Love the shade of green on that handle Bob!
    Got something coming I’ve been seeking for a while now.
    Not shave related but older than a lot of razors.

    Hopefully I can shave some intake clearance and get everything back under the original cowl lines on my green machine this winter, and next spring.

    I have an 11/16 - 1/4 hollow - Barbers Notch - W.T Staniforth - Ecclesall Works, Sheffield in the mail.

    Blade and scales in excellent condition, over 100 years old by all accounts ( late 1800's).

    I am really pleased with this, I wanted a barbers notch and this also looks like a nice Sheffield too.

    I don't know if W.T Staniforth - Ecclesall Works was anything special but I am pleased with it, I think this might be a keeper.

    Takes a Schick injector or the like. They ship it with their own brand. They are shorter than the Feather and Kai blades that fit the Mongoose and other razors.

    Well, that was kind of what I said also. These were from the user russian.things on eBay. Pretty sure there were more.

    You Sir are so right, I am more and more impressed each time I use it. So handy to just hang up to charge once done!
