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.

Nice work! That one screams art-deco! :tu
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. :)
Very nice! Enjoy your family heirloom!
Awesome!!
Treasure it forever!
It will remind you of your grandfather every time you see it.
Well done!!

Those are sweet!! Very nice.
Andrew, I gave the HMW knot a break in lather tonight, and am very pleased with it. It whipped up soap and cream very well, lots of backbone for a smaller knot.
