    Very possibly these are my absolute, ultimate dream razors:



    Made by Green & Pickslay in 1826 from steel alloyed with silver, rhodium and iridium. Owned by William Archbald of Kelso, Scotland.

    And maybe, JUST MAYBE, previously by Michael Faraday. I'm still trawling archives to trace the pair Pickslay sent to Faraday, but there's a tiny chance these are them.

    I'm very happy with them even if they weren't the ones Pickslay gave to Faraday, though.

    That is easy. A vintage 7/8 Spanish point with real tortoise shell scales. In mint condition, of course. Would pay almost anything.

    I've chased each and every one of my dream razors down, one by one

    Sure, yet another Buddel, Livi or Earl would still tickle me should I come across it, but in honesty, I am pretty much set with what I do have right now!
