Rubberset restore
Received this from my grandfather from his wet shaving collection. Nothing too serious, sanded down and buffed, the original knot had seen better days, so I gave it a new 20mm TGN super silvertip set at 55mm. Enjoy.

Very nice. Heirlooms are the best. Use it in good health.

Does it say Meakins on the bottom????
I have the exact same handle sitting here, and it reads Meakins on the bottom. I can't decide what kind of knot I want to put in mine.
