Yes Carl, the manufacturer is the same. By 1900 it was the hallmark of the monkey hand. You get the pocket knife sure of shave sharpness, i think. Better is the straight ...
Unfortunately, very rarely do you get this straight razor. There are typical french knife with a properly hardened steel. Really nice.
Sorry for my bad english. I hope you understand.

What a blade! Great shot Paul!
I especially like the bloody interior of this shaver.

Jean.

Good morning y'all! The pics have been outstanding this week! So, to disrupt the good pics, here's my SOTD. Lately it seems as though I'm reaching for my DE razors more, and today is no exception. The head I used is a FaTip which has a lot of blade exposure like a straight, but still no straight.

Prep - hot shower
Soap - MdC, scented
Brush - Simpsons Polo 8, Super 2 band
Razor - UFO Goliath XXL handle, FaTip polished chrome head, Gillette Silver Blue blade
Post - cold water, alum, Kiehl's lotion
EDT - Creed GIT



Have a great day!
