We have a large population of Finnish people locally and that is a very familiar knife type/style here.

Sounds kind of Irish after saying you already have 3 other bevel setters. :p Unusual too as the stand usually is supplied with the thin version of the hone. I'm sure you will be happy your purchase...

Just ordered a RR Lupo 95 OC bottom plate to convert my solid bar version.

It would not be the first time an English retailer, not razor maker, imported a German razor for sale under their own name. I think there is every chance it is a Boker. Nice find that should clean up...

I guess I do favour what most would call aggressive DEs. I think it is all in finding the right angle for the DE in use as they don't all shave using the same angle. That is probably why some people...

Just ordered the new OC version of the Razorock stainless steel Lupo 0.95 SB razor. The SB version is one of my favourite modern safety razors but for me has a slight short coming. That short coming...

There is a pretty long thread on Crookes razors and in it is a mention of a Septimus Crookes in post #18. There may be other mentions.

Good choice, I have the 37c, shorter handle, and really like it. Don't worry, you know how to shave so it'll go well. Never found the slant particularly aggressive and think it got that reputation...

Yea, going back almost 30 years the bags of talc, think it was Pfizer brand, we were unloading to be used in the pulp mill were labelled as a carcinogen. There is a reason they quit using talc in...

I doubt I have ever seen Brut Blue

Man, the scent that had was lovely.

Bob

Are you sure it's big enough. ;) Looking good.

Bob

Hate seeing things like that happen. I really hope you and the seller can work out a mutually suitable solution.

Any air guns firing at over about 500 fps requires you to take a course and write a test with a pass to get a PAL permit up here to own one or even borrow one. So virtually any air gun with enough...

Looks like any air/pellet gun that has a greater muzzle velocity and/or greater muzzle energy than specified requires a Possession and Acquisition licence (PAL) to buy or possess.

Yes, short barreled carbine rifles using full sized 30 cal rounds do have a bit of a kick to them. The Ruger bolt action mannlicher stocked carbine in 308 Win I had wasn't too bad and did not have a...

Slow burning powder in a short barrel?

I believe your old adjustable Gillette is a Slim. Very versatile razor being an adjustable.

Bob

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...

You could say that but I wouldn't understand. ;) Option #2 works best.

Bob

Thanks, if it looks as good as the photo, I'll be happy.

Ordered a reproduction vintage shave brush with a 26mm Omega boar knot to be installed.

I doubt there is much wrong with Russian straight razors if the one I have is anything to go by.
