    I haven't received it yet, it's coming down from Canada.

    Ugh, for some reason getting things from Canada tends to, for me, be slower than things sent from Europe

    Canada Post can be a pita but the favorable exchange softens the blow a bit.

    Canada Post is slow within Canada. However parcels in either direction is very slow. The exchange rate has my buying restricted. It is odd that I can get a parcel from the UK or from Japan faster than to or from the US, and sometimes I can get one faster from Japan than eastern Canada. That's a bummer about the blades not fitting. Perhaps it is a good time to retry the Rapide.

    The razor looks to be in very good condition but I'm equally excited about the tin case which are usually roached out.

    Very nice.
    Looks like both the razor and blades are in good condition

    Default Project: "Shave with Eight SE hoe razors in a row"

    Last year I much enjoyed Darkbulbs project, resulting in adding some really nice SE's to my collection. I love honing, stropping and shaving with these wedges. Besides a Wilkinson 7 day set and a Rolls Razor, which use their own wedges, I have the following razors for the normal wedges, from left to right: L' Essor, L' Aiglon, Torrey, Le Coq and Heljestrand.
    About the L'Aiglon I'm not sure; it came in a L' Aiglon box, but I read somewhere that it's a Le Grelot razor. There's no name on the razor itself. Anyway, great razors!

    Stunning collection.
    It also doesn't hurt that they are great shavers
