    Thanks !

    The washers of the Holtzapffel are not engraved. They're from a vintage razor, like the general form of the scales. The shell is from an antique paper-knife.

    Imperator did a great work.

    Thaeris - I quite like this, as I always like your collection; however, I particularly like the travel kit, and that fantastic brush. So I have decided you may send them to me.

    Please PM me for the shipping address.

    Okay, since it seems I don't have the choice, I'll do that way.

    Thank-you! And for having made that commitment to me, I will make one to you.

    Aside from ensuring the proper usage and storage of your blades (you may include any specific instructions), I also promise never, under any circumstances, to alter the state of the blades and polish them within an inch of their lives, despite my preference to see my nose hairs whilst shaving.

    Last ones :

    P Norris, Samuel, Sheffield 1795 - 1815.



    Who is going to get along well with a Foubert, Palais Royal, beginning of the XIXe.





    And this one, english wedge with MOP inlays (long time I was looking for one), is going to stay in my leather travel set from Truefitt & Hill, with a small MK31, ivory.





    Don't know if I'll keep all of those, but I'm sure I'm going to enjoy 'em !

    The Norris is in beautiful condition. Are those collars gold? Or just polished brass?

    Can't tell (and the previous owner must not knows either, saying "yellow washers"), but it would surprise me if it was gold. Those, this time, are engraved, and I'm pretty impatient to receive and have a closer look at it.

    The travel pack is a winner! I was gifted one and it is a really nice item! The blades are very nice also.
