    Thanks, Gary. It just dawned on me today that the Tee shape of the razor and Vee design of the clear lid spell:

    TV !!!

    Dang I'm slow, but I get there eventually. I'm special that way.

    Honestly Gary, I'm very impressed with this razor. At some point in its 70-year life span it traveled from the UK to the great state of Texas, and then 1.500 miles north to me, and still kooks brand new - even the case! That has to be a testament to British craftsmanship.

    yes sir,it was probably brought there by a collector .they are quite abundant in England still.nos sets show up quite frequently on ebay.uk.but they command bigger $ in the states.just like u.s fatboy adjustables in Europe..

    Thanks Gary, Having some fun with this Kai blade, it is a good blade for longevity and to be honest it makes certain mild razors perform even better because with the wider blade!

    Good shave, not a great shave, yesterday's TV Special was better. Maybe I'm not really an adjustable guy? Fatboy I think, tomorrow.
