Nope...Mike's is Russian, will be much taller, little bit slimmer, but very long and very tall.
Sid's a Brit, which means short, really stocky, not long, like a little tank....the original Cheshire cat.

I don't know if it's 'peachy' but it is Just Ducky.
Knowledge can be a very disapointing thing, especially if it tells you something that you didn't want to know. Such as the OP's question about if his razor could be related to a W&B and as the article clearly shows there's no way of knowing.
Apparently, there is a thing every year where over a thousand companies offer free shipping, for one day, on the last day of the year in which it is feasible to receive the package by Christmas Day. So I finally ordered a honing guide to help me sharpen hand plane irons!
Honing Guide - Rockler Woodworking Tools
Looks like it will be the same as the one that's been languishing in my Amazon shopping cart for the past year. It isn't the expensive name brand one, but I really don't need help sharpening chisels :shrug:...
After a bit of a wait, not bad for this time of year. An amazing brush appeared in my po box!!!!!
This brush was from Mike and I'll tell you it is of the highest quality and craftsmanship

Thanks so much again Mike for putting this in the auction.
I used it last night and WOW, this could be my favorite brush.
Funny thing is I own something older than my dad hahahaha
A Charlescraft #301 Soligen 5/8 with coffin, should be in today.
Enjoy it Dave. Happy I opted for the tru oil instead of the shellawax for it's final finish.
Gives the blackness a real depth even as it muted the grain differences slightly.
Should outlast a few generations though. And since it's a two band silvertip, it's got some good density and hair strength going for it as well.
