    I did, and neither the gold or silver set on mr. Razor specify what I'm asking...

    Sheesh...Then there's razor emporium's video:
    He's got 2 tiffany sets aside by side, with a third set being the solid gold canteen set that is not tiffany, but has the new improved head.
    Both Tiffany sets have old type heads, and Matt says that's what they should be.

    I give both those guys all the credit in the world... but there's always Gillette's oddities. Set that I just won looks like a new improved head. Being what these went for in their day, I'd doubt there are any/many Frankentiffany's lol.
    I have a feeling Gillette had nothing to do with the case and handle, and delivered silver plated heads, to order, to Tiffany & Co. Then, they got what they got, Gillette branding silver plated.
    So who knows, know one knows?

    Very cool Jim! I would love to find that new improved tube Sterling set one day. It looks very similar to my Sterling Type A. pixlr_20220213050846386.jpg

    Thanks Jorge. It would probably look really nice all shined up, but I like the patina it has developed over the years.

    I check AliExpress every so often to see what's new from Yaqi and Dscosmetics. I saw a $7 brush that I couldn't pass up. They claim the Handle is defective in some way but I don't think they would sell it if it was unusable. I guess I'll find out in a month or so when it gets here. It's the same handle as their Dandelion brush except that one has a cashmere knot.

    I've bought a few brushes that said there was a defect on them. I didn't see anything and they were cheap.

    Had received these like a couple of weeks ago, but had it addresed to a friend's address that lives in the States and she couldn't bring these to me until today.

    It's 6pm and haven't shaved so guess it's gonna be a SOTN

    I just bought 100 Tatra blades myself. I liked the ones that came with my Winning razor that much.

    I saw more Yaqi sales and had to do it.
