All for £18! I know! I can't wait to try the Slim Twist, even if the handle looks a bit odd. I believe next in line is a Wilkinson's Sword razor and then there is a Fatboy! Oh, I can't wait to clean it up and shave with it. Maybe it will have a red dot! I'm excited. Perhaps best of all though is the Revlon.. No, no it's not Best of all is the Rolls Razor and I believe there was a post some while back about restoring a Rolls. So that is going to be my little Christmas project. I'm a dubious about that weird looking brush; I don't know what the super tall container is and I don't know what the little item is next to the after shave. Ideas are welcome. All in all folks I am really pleased, it will be delivered tomorrow, I hope it is all as good as it looks.
I was given a Twist like the one pictured above by @Kypros Christodoulides and it's slightly heavier than the blue handle versions. I get great shaves with it using Lab Blue and Voskhod blades.
The thing next to the aftershave is a wooden block use to hold the blades for the WS Empire: The long tube is to hold the brush, the holes in the top are so that moisture can escape. And here is the thread for the rolls razor: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...thread-for-the-rolls-razor.22371/#post-392226 Nice score! Enjoy!
It's possible the long tube is for more than just holding the brush. I have a long tube that unscrews to become a complete shaving kit: the hollow base of the brush holds a stick of shaving soap, and a small top section of tubing contains a four piece travel razor.
I love the Wilkinson Sword Empire Razors. Great to look at, and easy to use. I believe it's one of the first truely adjustable safety razors made.
Sounds like a great deal. Have you used an adjustable razor before? For me, it was everything I had hoped for. I take advantage of the different settings almost every shave and I like being able to dial in on the perfect level of aggression depending on how close of a shave I need or the length of time sine my last shave.
Yes, I was lucky enough to be gifted my Uncles Slim however I am very much looking forward to comparing my Slim shave with the Fatboy. It'll be interesting.
